You need further evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for posting to HealthcareMagic.

There are many causes of weight loss. Chronic Infections, Chronic Inflammatory diseases, Autoimmune diseases , Hormonal imbalances and Psychiatric illness also.

You need to undergo evaluation for causes other than hormonal . I advise you to get Complete Hemogram , Monteaux test , ANA, CRP.

Revert back to me with reports.

Also tell the the amount of food you consume everyday.
