Two prominent problems associated with weight loss are ;
(1)Infection (somewhere in the body) which is not responding to the antibiotics
(2) Hidden malignancy.
In both the conditions it is the diagnosis which is most important
CRP can be done to confirm infection but locating infection will be a problem.
Similarly diagnosis (even suspicion) of malignancy is a problem.
I suggest you get a complete health package from a reputed Laboratory and consult some General Physician and also an Onco Physician for further information and management.
But an isolated weight loss problem is a challenge.
