What Could Cause Lightheadedness, Dizziness And Feeling Of Fainting While Walking?

I have been experiencing light headedness, heavy feet when walking, dizziness, feels like I could faint for some time but recently more severe and common. Mainly when I am standing but it occurs when walking and sitting as well. Experinced recent weight loss as well but with no change in diet or exercise. I am a 45 year old male, smoke but does not drink. No major medical conditions in my past.
