Unexplained weight loss, or losing weight without trying — particularly if it's significant or persistent — may be a sign of an underlying medical disorder. The point at which unexplained weight loss becomes a medical concern is not exact. Your weight is affected by your calorie intake, activity level, overall health, age, nutrient absorption, and economic and social factors. Causes- Unexplained weight loss has many causes, medical and nonmedical. Often, a combination of things results in a general decline in your health and a related weight loss. Sometimes a specific cause isn't found. Usually, an unrecognized cancer will have other symptoms or abnormalities of laboratory tests, in addition to unexplained weight loss. Potential causes of unexplained weight loss include: Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) Cancer Celiac disease Changes in diet or appetite Changes in sense of smell Changes in sense of taste COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and other lung diseases Crohn's disease Dementia Dental problems Depression (major depressive disorder) Diabetes Heart failure HIV/AIDS Hypercalcemia Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) Hypothyroidism Medications Parkinson's disease Peptic ulcer Substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, other) Tuberculosis Ulcerative colitis If you're losing weight without trying and you're not sure why, consult your doctor , Your doctor will work with you to try to determine what's causing the weight loss. At first that will involve a thorough history, a physical examination and basic laboratory testing. Full body scans to look for hidden cancers are not usually helpful unless some other clue points in that direction. Sometimes, if the basic evaluation is negative, watchful waiting for a few months is a reasonable next step. You may need a special diet to prevent further weight loss or to regain lost pounds.

Hi lybrate user, her bmi is 23.8 which means her weight is normal for her height. If the weight loss is very rapid. That is 3-5 kgs per month. If properly measured. It can be due to several reasons. You can start with 1. Deworming tablets. If things still do not improve you can get her thyroid /sugar test / cbc done. But my hunch is that she is normal and in good health. For a good diet you can refer to the recommendations given by other doctors.
