Hello and greetings
Sudden weight loss has many causes which can include cancer, infection, gastroenteritis, bowel disease, depression and over active thyroid to name a few.
See your nearest doctor and get the necessary investigation done to rule out any major illness.
Improve your diet or visit a dietitian.
