Hi,

Loss of considerable weight is alarming. I suggest you to consult your physician for clinical assessment and preliminary investigations - complete blood count, peripheral blood smear examination, liver function tests, renal function tests, lipid profile to name a few.

Significant weight loss is feature of chronic and debilitating diseases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
