Helloo,,, at 60 yrs fatigue with loss of weight, is a point of concern. You need to have him tested for diabetes and thyroid straight away. Then a genral health check for not so common problems. Also, let him stop the cholesterol tablets for a month and see how he feels. These tablet can cause muscle pains which may be interpreted as weakness.Also,consider adding Vit D, Vitamin B1B6B12 along with Zinc as tablets.A genral helth check up with an X-ray chest would be essential.
