Hi,

Thanks for your question.

I can understand your concern.

First check T3, T4, TSH to exclude any thyroid dysfunction.

If it is normal then -
- Take High protein diet (about 65 to 70 gm) with 35 to 40 gm if fat and 2100 kcal diet.

For proteins you can have egg white, pulses, soya beans, Kidney beans, milk and milk products, non vegetarian food like chicken, lamb, fish.
You can also take ready-made protein supplement available in market.

Better to consult nutrition specialist for better meal planning.

As there is no weakness or other complaints there is no need for additional evaluation at present.

Hope this helps you.
