Advice needed - daughter and jab

I am really struggling to know what to do. Daughter has lost 8 stone through the jab over the last 12 months and has gone from 17 stone to 9 stone. It has been dramatic and her overall mental wellbeing has improved beyond doubt but I am desperately worried about her and her eating. She is decreasing her dose and she does eat but not really very much. We both work in health care and I know that her colleagues including doctors have expressed their concerns to both myself and her directly. I have taken advice and try not to talk about food or weight and I no longer comment on her body shape but will make reference to a style or colour of clothing suiting her and also I promote beauty comes from inside as well as outside. I food shop regularly and she will come with me and pick up bits and pieces and we will eat together more social eating rather than round a table. She is 27 so I can’t (and wouldn’t) tell her what to do but try and promote talking about how she feels. She is happy - really happy but is tall and looks so thin. Her hair is also starting to thin out which i know really bothers her.

I have family expressing their opinion and I shut the conversation down as I know there is an issue but just don’t really know what to do

Her BMI is in the healthy range (I have no belief in BMI) but on talking to my health colleagues they tell me that this is what disorders are measured on.

I guess I just would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and how they have dealt. Her diet is “healthier” in that there is no longer fast food deliveries; we both go to Pilates to try and exercise to promote a healthier approach to life and I really try to encourage eating but without making an issue

However I am worried sick to say the least

It mostly sounds like your DD needs a new job. If multiple colleagues really have approached you then this is wildly unprofessional and she deserves to know so that she can find a less enmeshed workplace.
