That is a lot of weight to lose that quickly. You should be seen by a gastroenterologist for a GI work up

I agree with @100Percent_K. Def not normal. I'm studying to be a registered dietitian and I can tell you rn with the info you gave that you meet the criteria for malnutrition at the hospital I intern at (of course, it's a temporary diagnosis but still concerning). Would recommend seeing an RD in addition to the gastroenterologist!

A lot of people have a hard time eating meat. It's not easy on the digestive system.

That kind of weight loss is normal in that it's expected when you're throwing up that often, but that kind of vomiting is not normal at all. I assume you e had your whole GI tract scoped and they found nothing out of the ordinary. Have you been bitten by a tick? Recently or otherwise?
