Please come down to my clinic Y S Desai Specialty Healthcare at Basaveshwaranagar to clinically assess your problem instead of jumping into conclusions!
It could just be Rhinosinusitis with polypi blocking the olfactory gutter causing the loss of smell.

Well loss of smell can be due to nasal blockage or viral infection (COVID is one of them). But loss of smell and taste is high likely of COVID infection.
Next Steps
Do RTPCR for Covid
