Hi there I understand your concern and anxiety...An unexplained drop in weight could be caused by various conditions — including overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), diabetes, depression, liver disease, cancer or disorders that interfere with how your body absorbs nutrients (malabsorption disorders)...consult nearest physician for clinical examination they will do the needful.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
The weight loss could have happened because of your irregular sleeping and eating habits along with your stressful life style.
Also get your thyroid checked out and consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.

Hello.... 20 kilograms weight loss is apparently detectable.. Like loose shirt and pants, thiness when looked at mirror....If you have no health issues that's good to hear. Don't skip meals.. Sleep well, you don't have regular pattern I think. Have food at 8 -8.30 and sleep at 10..
