HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, malignant condition could cause the weight loss but it should be confirmed other systemic diseases may cause the weight loss if diagnosed finally, if nothing is like that then it could be some functional disease, in absence of these, no need to worry about this, hope this information helps.
