Hi, from the information that you have given I presume that you are only concerned about losing weight & that you have no specific health problems or other symptoms such as tiredness . Unintentional weight loss should be investigated that is if you are losing weight just like that without food restriction or exercise. My advise is to do the following tests so that I can give you a better opinion for the cause of your weight loss. The tests are as follows: Complete blood count, Thyroid function test ( TSH, T3, T4), Fasting blood sugar and Post prandial blood sugar, Serum cortisol, Serum sodium & potassium, ESR . You should also maintain a record of your weight to find out how rapidly you are losing weight. You may also consult a physician for examination & further advice regarding your weight loss.
