Recently lost 5-7lbs unexpectedly (normally 136-138lbs and now 131), and with no changes to the diet/exercise regimen that I've maintained for years. Was already very fit and lean, and this is now the least I've ever weighed. Cause for concern?

Good day. for the past few years I've had the odd acute gout attack, 1-2 per year. since late last year it has been consistent and I can't exercise. Coltracine only helps symptoms and doesn't cure it. My diet has seen positive changes
