What Causes Intermittent Losing Of Facial Fat?

Hi, I'm a male, 23 years old. I weigh around 73 kilos, 5'8.
I used to be fat 7-8 years ago and lost majority of the weight by following a diet for sometime. It was technically sudden and I really didn't put a lot of effort. I must have followed a diet for not more than 2-3 months if I remember correctly.
My weight has been stable for the past few years but strange as it sounds , I keep loosing facial fat on and off. I feel its thin one day and suddenly seems to be a bit fatter after a few days. I have pictures from 2-3 years ago and if I compare them now, I feel I really have lost quite some weight on my face whereas barely anything from my body. I was studying in Boston, United States for 5 years and during that period my diet was very poor. Sometimes I would have only 1 meal a day and mostly junk food and majorly always used to order in from the restaurants. No home cooked food.
I got back to my hometown India, about 7-8 months ago and trying to eat properly.I have started to work out from the past few months and take a healthy diet and try to have 1-3 litres of water everyday. I just started to take a few supplements( whey protein, bcaa, zma pro). They are all advised by my trainer.
I'm kind of concerned about the facial fat loss as I always get comments that I look weak and gaunt. I have sunken eyes and cheeks. Can you please help me identify the underlying reason/problem. Could it be malnutrition? Also my stomach is kind of fat compared to the rest of my body. Like my hands, arms,face, chest look very petite but just have fat thighs and stomach. Is there a way I could make it proportionate.
Thanks in anticipation
