Too much: I am concerned with 20 lb weight loss in 4 weeks. It's portmanteau you see a doctor to evaluate you and understand the cause.

Many possible causes: 20 lbs weight loss in 4 weeks is a lot, and something you should definitely look into. The first stop would be your primary care physician, to rule out possible medical causes. Appetite/weight loss can also be symptoms of depression. If there is no medical explanation, your 2nd stop should be with a mental health professional, to assess possible depression.
