My [21f] boyfriend [24m] doesn't seem to eat

this is a kind of a weird one, I've been with my boyfriend for about 4 months, we see each other several days a week and I've seen him eat maybe like 5 times or something. I understand he is trying to lose weight but it's getting kind of worrying.

He will go multiple full days without eating (he stays around my house). I don't bring it up any more because it irritates him when i do. He says he eats his diet food at home... but then why not bring it to mine. Whenever I offer him food he always says no. I've even made him stuff and he just doesn't eat it. Not even snacks. He will drink though, including alcohol.

Previously, he was overweight and now he is very much a normal weight so I don't know why he doesn't start eating. I'm not good at estimating how much weight someone has lost but it's a lot. I asked him if he plans to carry on losing weight, he said he wasn't sure but he started lifting more in the gym because he wants to get more muscular. He just says he doesn't get hungry which is why he doesn't eat much, but this kind of doesn't make sense especially when his friends have commented on it (we've gone out to eat with them and he just drinks).

Shall I just leave him alone or say something again? I know he's a grown man and can decide when he wants to eat, maybe it's just my mothering instinct kicking in. At the same time I'm just a bit worried/confused.

tldr; very rarely see my boyfriend eat. worried something could be wrong, but he hates when I bring it up.

The difference between being right and being understood

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.
