Hi Goyal,
Most of your tests are normal, but outdated. Tests are to be conducted annually at least to predict it's use.
However, your symptoms of weight loss and burning sensation in palms and soles can be attributed to nutritional deficiencies. I think you need to improve your protein intake along with multi vitamin supplements.
Do get your HbA1C done to rule out diabetes.
It looks more like peripheral neuropathy secondary to either diabetes or vitamin deficiency.
Protect your palms and soles. Keep them in warm water for sometime to improve circulation.
Any further questions, happy to help again.
