this could be a range of possibilities and could be anything from exercising more to an underlying health problem.
cats are prone to an over active thyroid condition (hyperthyroidism) where losing weight can be an initial problem seen by owners.
his condition is usually seen in older cats over 7 years - but younger cats do sometimes suffer from this.
other health problems can also be a factor i.e an endoparasite such as worms.
if persists consult a vets advice.

There could be a number of medical reasons for your cats weight loss ie: kidney failure, thyroid, ulcers, nerves, etc.
Bloodwork will give your vet a good idea and baseline in case they decide to take a watch & see approach.
Not knowing the cats age, if he/she is a bit older it may be kidney failure. Bloodwork & palpation of the area will give them a definitive answer on that one. I've found if you have a good vet you can treat this easily at home with Sub Q fluids on a daily basis.
Of this is an older cat digestive enzymes decrease with age. I would recommend putting him/her on a digestive enzyme. And if you start him/her on an antibiotic get a probiotic supplement to protect the stomach and help your kitty not get a secondary infection.
Hope this helps and sorry to hear about your kitty.
