Your symptoms are pointing towards a diagnosis of mixed anxiety and depressive disorder. During the episodes of depression, usually the appetite is reduced and hence, a result in weight loss. In my opinion, if you have gone for a thyroid profile to rule out hyperthyroidism and the levels of thyroid are in normal range, then you are advised to see a psychiatrist,, who may prescribe you some anxiolytic AND / OR anti-depressive, if needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
