Hi, as a layman it sounds to me like he may have some issues with his thyroid. Please see my web page here https://www.our-happy-cat.com/cat-thyroid.html

I would say that it is really important to have your cat checked by a vet as soon as possible, weight loss needs to be investigated as quickly as possible.

My own cat had a thyroid problem and lost lots of weight including muscle, luckily we caught it in time and she is now fine after treatment.

Hope your cat is better soon

best wishes Kate
