Hello dear
Please be aware
I think as per clinical history it seems most probably ibs
Kindly get following tests done
Stomach ultrasound
Culture if required
Diet modification can bring improvement
Take lactulose or yog hurt and avoid vegetables like lady finger and potatoes
Share result with general physician for further details
Regards

The weight loss + soft muscle + fluctuating stool without clear trigger strongly point toward a gut flora imbalance, likely SIBO or dysbiosis.
If you want more clarity, do:
CBC, CRP, ESR – rule out inflammation
Stool routine + occult blood + calprotectin
Breath test (Lactulose/Methane) – if SIBO suspected strongly
Thyroid & Vitamin B12/D – as they affect weight & digestion
Try gut reset diet for treatment
Like adding probiotic Rice, moong dal, boiled vegetables (bottle gourd, pumpkin, carrot)
Jeera, ginger, ajwain water
Homemade buttermilk (diluted curd + pinch of hing)
Small meals every 3–4 hours
And avoid Milk, wheat, sugar, legumes, raw onion/garlic
Apples, mangoes, bananas, soda
Oily food, bakery, packaged food
