Hello,
Bruising on the legs associated with weight loss is commonly due to leukemia, anorexia nervosa, thyroid issues, blood issue, bleeding disorders also cause bruising, cancerous cause, underlying health condition, etc. Underlying health condition, liver dysfunction, acid reflux may cause loss of appetite. You are suggested to get clinically examined, get all investigations and imaging tests done to detect the pathology causing you discomfort. You will be treated accordingly.
Do not get stressful stay relaxed so that your body system may respond to treatment. Take vitamin E in its natural form to help your blood vessels stay healthy. Excessive intake of supplements (gingiko, fish oil, etc.) also lead to easy bruising. Take everything within normal limits. Stay away from addictions if any. Get treated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
