Hi Tabasum,
Thank you for consulting with Health Care Magic and i understand your concern.
Considering your age and assuming that you are of average height your ideal weight is expected to be around 60-70 kg. If you weigh well below this then it should bother you.
From your query and symptoms that you mentioned i think you might be having a thyroid problem ( hyperthyroidism), i suggest you get a thyroid profile done.
Some people weigh less due to genetic reasons, in that case you need not worry unless you remain healthy.
You haven't told exactly what kind of gastrointestinal problems you are going through. It will be easy for me to help you if you write back to me the details of your gastrointestinal problems .
Get back to me with your thyroid test results.
Eat healthy and consider intake of calorie rich food.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good health.
