I am very sorry to hear about Jag. These symptoms are definitely concerning. I am not sure if by saying he is not keeping "food in" this means he is vomiting, or if he is just eating alot but not putting on weight. We would be worried about a variety of problems including hyperthyroidism, diabetes, kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, GI lymphoma, and more. I would recommend getting Jag into the vet as soon as possible for an exam. After his physical they may recommend bloodwork, x-ray or ultrasound to help pinpoint hte cause of his symptoms and determine the best treatment for Jag.
