Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
I would suggest the following investigations in view of the weight loss.
1.CBC
2. Ultrasound of abdomen.
3.Stool examination for occult blood.
4.Liver function tests
If any of the above investigations shows any abnormality then a contrast enhanced CT is advisable.
I hope this provides you with guideline.
