High lymphocytes in the blood, known as lymphocytosis, can be caused by various factors such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer like lymphoma. Since you are also experiencing excessive weight loss, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is important.
