What causes weight loss?

I've been losing weight without actively trying to diet or exercise more, and it's making me a bit concerned. What are some common reasons or causes for unexplained weight loss?

I have been losing weight without trying and I feel quite weak lately. Could this be due to a lack of vitamins, or should I be more worried and get a blood test done?

Don't listen to people online telling you to drink random herbal juices for weight loss or weakness. Unexplained weight loss is a serious symptom that needs proper clinical blood tests by a qualified doctor.

If you aren't eating enough protein-rich vegetarian foods or are suffering from poor nutrient absorption, you can lose weight rapidly. However, unexpected weight loss can also point to high thyroid levels or diabetes, so do get tested.

Honestly, during exams, I lose like 3-4 kgs just from stress and skipping meals. But if you are losing weight without any lifestyle changes, definitely get it checked out by a doc.
