    Your body weight may fluctuate. However, it might be a severe problem if the fluctuation becomes large. If persistent weight loss occurs by more than 5 % over 6 to 12 months could be a cause of concern. Losing muscles and tissue might reduce the sign of malnutrition. You will see symptoms of tiredness, loss of appetite, changes in toilet habits, and frequent infections. The other causes of weight loss are depression, cancer, and hyperthyroidism. You can reach the doctor for the underlying condition because if you persistently lose weight, this is a sign of concern.
