What Causes Weight Loss After Having Levothyroxine?

I am losing weight without trying, my doctor put on levithyroxin because of thryoid problem. After taking the medication I started losing weight. I stopped taking the medication and I'm still losing weight. I had breast cancer two years ago. My last visit with my oncologist turned out good. He said I was cancer free. Why the weight loss.
