I have lost 20 lbs in two months unintentionally. my doctor says nothing is wrong, what could cause it and how can i gain it back?

Requires further tes: Unless you have been checked for common causes of weight loss, i would not be confortable with this explanation. Weight loss can only be caused by either reduced food intake or buring more calories by excessive exercise. Thyroid hormone in excess(hyperthyroidism) is one common cause of unexplained weight loss, so your thyroid functions should be checked .Also have blood tests and chest xray done.
