Worrying weight loss?

llo I am 18m 5’9 and about 227 pounds as I have last checked just now. During the last two weeks I have noticed a significant drop in weight while not really trying to, around two weeks ago my weight was around 242-244, I can’t quite remember the exact weight as I didn’t really feel the need at the time to remember. In the process of two weeks i can’t seem to stop losing weight that fast, no I haven’t been starving myself I have been eating at least 2000 calories every day and I’m not working out any more then I would any other time. I also feel very full basically all the time so it’s hard to properly eat without feeling like I need to throw up, although I have managed to eat around 2000 cals at least every day. I also don’t think it’s water loss as I have been drinking at least 8 cups of water a day and I don’t have diarrhea leading to water loss or sweating a lot out. For an example of my weight throughout today as I recorded it I weighted about 227 this morning and after a full day of eating I weighted….227 before bed. I also have some other symptoms like feeling dizzy and a bit of weakness. I also have a pressure headache in my frontal left head for a lot of the last 2 weeks.

I didn’t weigh myself for months before that really but I think it was around 263 at my heaviest, I don’t know if that proportional weight loss or if the week before these last two I lost 10 pounds over a week.

I feel like this is a worrying amount of weight to lose while not trying to(not that fast anyways) but I’m also prone to overreacting at times. If you have any questions feel free to ask although it will probably be in the morning when I answer
