Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some problem in your throat.
As you a smoker and h/o weight loss, it requires evaluation of your case.
There might be having space occupying lesion in the throat or sub mucous fibrosis in the mouth.
Consult oral surgeon and get investigated.
Stop smoking.
Ok and take care.
