Hello,
Night sweats can be because of infection or metabolic disturbance.As you have also history of weight loss and sickness, if you have any lymph node felt on neck or other side of body,for that tuberculosis and malignancy has to be ruled out by sputum test and C.B.C chest Xray first and may need biopsy afterwards if any abnormality found.
Since you have smell in sweat ,it can be metabolic disorder,for that get urine DR done.Also thyroid profile can rule out hyperthyroidism as these symptoms can be because of increased thyroid hormones also.
Hope my answer will be helpfull for you.
Regards,
Dr.Maheshwari
