Rapidly losing weight?

I know I should go to a doctor, I'm working on it, trust me. I've been rapidly losing weight for about two years now. Healthy weight for my age/height is around 130 pounds, and I've been struggling just to stay at 115. I've actually been eating more but still losing more weight. Is there anything I should be on the lookout for? Any possible sicknesses I may have? I'm tired of feeling weak and nauseous all the time, any help is greatly appreciated.

    You may be eating more, but are you tracking your calories? You need to be in a caloric surplus to gain weight.

    If you are feeling weak and nauseous, it may be a good idea to visit your doctor like you said to check for any possible illness/sickness that may be leading to weight loss.

    see a dr and have them run blood tests for different things. could be a thyroid issue or something else.

    There are a lot of diseases that can cause rapid weight loss and lethargy; thyroid issues, cancer, malnutrition, etc... you need to see a doctor to run test.
