Weight lose issues
I'm experiencing unexplained weight loss despite having normal reports. My fasting blood sugar is 82 mg/dL, UACR is 1.53 mcg/mg, TSH is 3.33 mIU/L, and my urine routine/microscopy is normal. What could be the reason for the weight loss, and what tests or steps should I take next?
