Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Hydrochlor thiazide, due to diuretic effect may bring down some weight if there is edema to great extent. Other wise there wont be much of weight reduction.
Otherwise the reason may be different like, lack of appetite, lack of absorption, or some chronic disease.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
