Hi
As you are telling you drink alot of water.
It can be because you have more urine output means you go to pee more so your body deprived of water wanting more water and making you thirsty.
But still I will advise you to get your fasting blood sugar done to rule out diabetes possibility. As type 2 diabetes is not congenital.
For constipation
Add more soluble fiber in your diet
