Hi, As per my report, I have Vitamin D and B12 deficiency, with levels of 6.5 and 136, respectively. As advised by my doctor, I started taking injections for both vitamins. I have observed a 3 kg weight loss in 2 weeks. Could this weight loss be due to the injections?

The weight loss is unlikely from B12/D injections. Likely from improved metabolism or reduced intake. Please take a thyroid function test to rule out hyperthyroidism. Take TSH test to rule out thyroid cause.
