Default My car can't keep itself warm

So one day I'm driving my car and its coolant temperature is normal. As I continue to drive, I notice that the temperature is becoming cooler. Then, the needle goes up again after some time. My car had a cold-valve done to it last year but I think this has something to do with a thermostat...what do you guys think?

Keep your car about 4k rpm everywhere you drive
