Unexpected weight loss

Why can’t I gain weight?? When I was a teen I struggled to loose it and now that I’m 21 I cannot gain no matter how much I try. I literally spent my entire paycheck on food to gain weight and the weight would stick them when it comes time for my period it all just disappears. Now I’m at the point where I’m literally fighting to keep the weight I already have and I feel sick. It is starting to get depressing. Does anyone else have this issue

    Perhaps if you are eating more calories then you burn you should go to the doctor.

    Other possibilities
    1. You are not eating as much as you think. (Switch to more calorie dense foods)
    2. You are burning more then you think.(calm down the exercise)

    What are you eating? Is it a bunch of vegetables and lean meats or is it fatty meats, nuts, and avocados?

    Have you been to a doctor for blood work?
