Some blood test will helps identify the reason behind this, because weight loss happens due to high BMR.

3) LFT
4) KFT
5) nutrients deficiency test- vitamin D and B12, folate and iron
6) HbA1c
7) Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP): To check glucose levels, calcium, and kidney function.
8) Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): To provide additional information on liver function and protein levels.
Next Steps
Do strength training/ weight lifting and take adequate protein- 1.2- 2.2 gram per kg body weight. You should take lean meats, eggs, full fat dairy products. In vegetarian - all types of pulses and legumes.
Take enough simple carbs and starchy fruits and vegetables.
