I recently lost 20lbs (went from 145lbs to 126lbs) in about 4 weeks. i havent been dieting or exercising more, why might this be happening?

Weight loss.: This kind of rapid unintentional weight loss is not great, and might suggest that something medical is going on. Malabsorption? Hyperthyroidism? An evaluation and formal testing is on order.
