Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, this is normal, you should not worry.
It may be due to age-related muscular atrophy that leads you to weight loss.
As per your information, I did not think your body weight is changed significantly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
