Brief Answer:
Unhealthy weight loss

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

There are two types of weight loss : Safe and Unsafe.

What you have been attempting is an unsafe one and this weight loss comes back as soon as you switch to normal diet.

You never know the actual composition of these supplements. Moreover, depriving yourself with normal nutritional food is of no value.

Now at this point of time, i would recommend you to stop these products and go for regular exercises to maintain your weight.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Brief Answer:
Easy ways are seldom good

Detailed Answer:
No Dr will recommend you to take these supplements for long.
See, you desired weight loss and you achieved it.
So now it's time to stop these products and take out 20 minutes from your schedule for exercises.

Just 20 minutes of running and right diet is required to maintain the weight.

I will not recommend you further consumption of these products.

Good luck.
