Brief Answer:
It could be due to dieting
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.
Weight loss upto 10% of your previous body weight can be expected with dieting. So your weight loss could be related to diet control.
Few diseases which can present with in explained weight loss are hyperthyroidism, diabetes and gastrointestinal disorders. Doing a blood test for thyroid function, blood sugar and hemogram will clear your doubts.
Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.
