Hyperthyroidism can cause a significant weight loss which one usually recovers after medications. If you are experiencing weight loss again, get your tsh levels checked. Apart from hyperthyroidism, other condition like some underlying infections , diabetes, dietary changes etc. can also cause loss of weight.
