Brief Answer:
Calcium and potassium deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns. Muscle spasms and cramps commonly occur due to calcium and potassium deficiency , so I would recommend that you get a blood test for the serum level of calcium and potassium. if found low, then this can be corrected by calcium and potassium supplements .
As for weight loss, this depends on your dietary habits and whether you eat enough calories daily or not. so please clarify your feeding habits and your daily activities routine , thanks
