What Is Causing My Persistent Weight Loss?

Hello, I am a 21 years old male. I am 6 feet 2 tall and my weight is 142 lb. I used to be 154 lb. but in the last three or four months I lost a lot of weight. Nothing changed in my diet, or maybe I eat more now than before. My diet is not even healthy at this time, with a lot of fast food. My blood exams show that everything is ok. What could cause that lost of weight? Maybe stress?
