Unexplained wt loss: If you are not trying to lose weight , this weight loss is a cause for concern, since the medications you mention should not cause a ten pound weight loss. Unexplained weight loss can be a sign of serious disease. Please see your doctor for an examination and appropriate tests.

Diuretic: Chlorthalidone is a diuretic used for blood pressure control. Your weight loss may represent fluid loss, and will stabilize over time.

Weight loss: This degree of weight loss is mildly concerning. Perhaps this happened from chlorthalidone and fluid loss from your body, but this is a significant change. Are you drinking sufficiently? Stone prevention requires that you drink at least 3-4 liters fluid per day. Stone prevention also requires a low salt intake. Balance is important. Talk to your practitioners. Chlorthalidone is long acting.
