Hi,
For your sudden weight loss and loss of appetite you can rule out chronic illness like tuberculosis and HIV by digital chest X-ray, sputum examination and serum ELISA testing for HIV. If comes normal then it's advisable to investigate with serum ANA estimation.
I suggest you consult physician for examination.
