First Time Weight Loss Concerns

Hello all!

I have some concerns about how much weight I’m losing and what I think is a loss of appetite.

Background: I went to the Doctor about a month ago? I’m unsure the timeline but it was at most four weeks ago; and when they weighed me I was 247.6 Ib (sorry i don’t know kg), and so that concerned me. The most I’ve ever weighed was 245. And on top of that I was under the impression that I lost weight since graduating from high school. Also before I forget, I'm AMAB, 18, 5'4.

So since then, I’ve thought to try to lose weight. I’ve started tracking my calories and eating under the calorie budget consistently but I’m starting to get a bit concerned. I’m unsure if I’m sick or what but food has no appeal to me at the moment. And it kinda sucks, no I don’t miss it but my thing is I’m scared I’m not eating enough and so I’ll lose to much weight to fast. I heard that it’s ok to lose 1/2-2 pounds a week is healthy. The following are my weigh ins for when I started tracking:

(before the 21st, I wasn’t tracking weight yet): 243

6-21: 234.4

6-22: 234.4

6-23: 237.6

6-25: 235

6-26: 234.4

Now that I look at it; it’s not much but I’m honestly still concerned. This is the first time I want to take this seriously and want to do this right; no half measures.

So now for questions:

* What’s with the erratic weight? Well looking back it’s not as erratic as I first thought then still.

* What the disinterest of food? Sick or what could be wrong with me?

I also have two more questions which are:

* What else can I do to lose weight safely besides a calorie deficit? I’ve been walking around inside the house when I can because I’m unable to go out much but what else is there?

* I heard it’s good to measure yourself because that can be more accurate than weight on its own but I’m unsure where so, where should I measure?
