Hi!
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
This weight loss and weakness is telling that something is going wrong in his body.
In my opinion he should do some tests such as complete blood count to confirm or exclude an anemia,blood sugar to exclude Diabetes(this condition also can cause weakness and weight loss).
I suggest to consult a doctor.He can perform a carefully physical examination and lab tests or imaging to find out the right cause of this weakness,and weigh loss.
Hope I was able to help you.
Take care.
