Dr. Quang Nguyen answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Hard to say: You might need to see your doctor to see what's going on. Hyperthyroid, adrenal disorders, medication side effects, endocrine tumors, cancer...Can all cause weight loss. It's impossible to pinpoint without knowing more information about you.
