B6 and weight loss

Hi,

I started taking 100mg of B6 a month ago for PMS and sore breasts. In that time I've lost 4 or 5 pounds in weight. I was 8 and a half stone before so it's quite a lot of weight to lose and I haven't been this weight for years. Nothing else has changed - still eating the same and exercising the same.

I know B6 is a diuretic so some may be water loss, but does this kind of weight loss sound normal?

I wonder if it's helping your thyroid to become more efficient hence the weight loss. thyroiddietitian.com/2017/08/vitamin-b6-and-thyroid-health/

I started to take a multi-vitamin and have seen some weight loss too, when in the past I have had trouble losing weight. I was also wondering if it should be a concern
