Is this normal or should I be worried?

I have a question.(obviously) So my weight changes really weird throughout each day. Some days I weigh 118 others I weigh 124 and then today it said I weighed 99(pounds). I heard that this was from water weight, but I noticed that it doesn't really change depending on how much I've drank in the day. Most days I drink the same amount of liquids and use the bathroom the same amount of times and I don't really think that would generally affect my weight that much. I also make sure to weigh myself around the same time each day. I don't know it's just kind of weird. I heard that if you experience extreme weight loss it might be a sign of cancer? Should I be worried?

Have you been paying attention to your salt intake (which can cause fluctuations in water weight) or your carb vs. protein intake? That is pretty extreme but I doubt it is cancer. The internet will scare you. Just go to your primary care physician and discuss it instead of asking a bunch of strangers without medical degrees and search a web made to scare you.

My salt intake hasn't changed too much throughout the days if I remember correctly.

Again if you're really worried go to your doctor and not the internet. It will just scare you and make you think you have something when it is super unlikely that you do.
