Before coming to the grave diagnosis of cancer let me help you by answering your question. Even in longstanding infections one loses weight. Lacking the information about smoking history &a some other reports like ESR, I would like to suggest you to get evaluated for tuberculosis first. Early morning sputum samples would be helpful. For more information take a consult.
