Hello
Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
Actually there are multiple causes of weight loss. So first of all we need to get few basic blood investigations like-
complete blood count
liver function test
kidney function test
erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Rheumatoid factor.
Once you get all these test done review with me with reports.
I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
