Brief Answer:
Check the Thyroid levels,

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting a query,

The weight loss with out dieting could be due to any hormonal dysfunction or chronic infection.

In your case I feel it is due to hormonal dysfunction. As infections are usually associated with increased temperature.

I suggest you to get Thyroid levels, Blood glucose levels, Haemoglobin and Vit B12 levels tested along with a chest Xray to rule out the exact cause.

Any query do get back.

Take care.
