Always Trying

Hello,
I have OCD and have really been struggling with health anxiety this last few weeks.
I had a baby 9 weeks ago who had some significant issues at birth an though he is seemingly ok now, I think that's what started it off for me.
I've had some fears about bowel cancer, which I saw the doctor about. She asked me if I'd had any weight loss and I hadn't at that stage (this was almost a week ago now).
I got on the scales this morning and I've lost around 3kg in about 1.5 weeks.
How concerned should I be? During that time I've been very anxious and not eating quite as much as normal, but that amount of weight loss seems excessive for just anxiety?! Has anyone else experienced this?
