Losing weight drastically

Hi, 40 years Male here. I am noticing sudden changes in my weight. I kind of lost 6-7 Kgs in a span of 8 weeks, and continue to lose even after. I am currently at 67kgs and few months back was at 75Kgs. I also feel my bones are weak and fatigue. Situation is to gain just one kg of weight, I had to workout well, eat well and put in lots of efforts. But if I stop putting those efforts,I keep losing weight instantly and easily. This has been the case for me last few years and repeatedly happen. Also I always have aches n pains in my body, like knee joints, ankles, hip joints, or even elbows. I do regular workouts like few times a week and have been consistently doing this last few years. But still, I get joint pains and aches if I just stop doing it just for few days. Question is why do these pains occur? Is vitamin D deficiency an issue. Is it related to arthritis and how to diagnose n prevent it in early stages. Kindly advise and your expertise is needed.

Doubts regarding fracture

My kid is 5 years old. On May 15 she fractured her leg. Doctor has put pop. Today we went for 3rd checkup. He told her to lift the left. She too lifted. He said bones have joined well. To get stronger, doctor has put pop again today. When will she walk? Doctor said to come after 15 to take x ray and then he will remove pop. He said me not to send her to school for 1 month. When can we send her to school? Because she gets bored and frustrated at home. What are the don't after pop removal
