The observable is executed twice

Yup. The observable is subscribed to twice. Once by the isLoadingService, and once by the async pipe in the component's template.

If it is a heavy http request you will be doing this twice, unless you use a sharereplay(1) or a ReplaySubject(1). If it is a request to create a record...
Well, what I mean is that we may have a problem here, right?

Thanks again!

Depends on the observable.

I can't answer that for you. I'm not familiar with your project. If you're unsure how to use observables, you can always just stick to promises (or transform observables to promises with toPromise()).

I'll note that Angular's HttpClient returns observables which complete after the request resolves. If you're using it, this isn't something you need to worry about.
