Hello @waverider89, Welcome to Connect. I had not seen any other posts similar to your symptoms and did a search and found there is a clinical study on weight loss related to COVID 19. Hopefully if there are other COVID long haulers out there that share your experience they may be able to provide some additional information.
COVID-19 is associated with clinically significant weight loss and risk of malnutrition, independent of hospitalisation: A post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7598735/
You mentioned having many different test but they all checked out OK. Have you talked with a nutritionist or dietician to see if some minor changes in the types of food you are eating may have an impact?

Thank you for the link to the study. This gives me hope that at least this issue is recognized and under investigation.
My Dr has not yet referred me to a dietician, however, I did ask about seeing a nutritionist...I may need to seek one out on my own.
Thank you again for the response and information.
