It’s incredibly rude to remark on anyone’s weight, no matter which end of the spectrum it’s on.  Not everyone who’s lost weight is happy about it, and not everyone who says they’re not happy about it is in eating-disorder denial.  Not everyone can explain why it continues to happen even as spirits soar and fatty meals are consistently consumed.  Not everyone wants to look differently — some people were perfectly happy where they were.  Not everyone is flattered when attention is brought to how loosely their watch fits on their wrist.

That’s because for some people it’s just plain embarrassing and confusing and unwanted.
