So yeah my weight has dropped since then, keep in mind I have a very fast metabolism. If anyone can help me out about this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi, Welcome to the Forum......
Remember that along with training your nutrition is equally important, to build muscle you have to have protein, and for muscle energy you have to have carbohydrates, along with them two is essential fats, (because your body needs it and cant make them), then you need vitamins and minerals because most processed foods doesnt contain much, and the soil that foods are grown is deficient in minerals.
Your weight can vary on a daily basis due to what you have eaten, fluid intake, bowel movements, etc. Best to only weight yourself once per week only.
Have a look at
This Calculator that will give you an idea of what amount of calories you should be on per day.
Then have a look at
These articles for nutritional advice.
