You need to first be positive that he's eating. If he's eating and still losing weight, he probably has a parasite that a vet can check for. He may also be impacted. What kind of substrate is he on?

 

[Mel&Keith]

What are your tank temperatures and how often/what are you feeding it?

Is it the same gecko in your avatar?

 

[Krystal]

yes it is the same gecko in the avatar. the tempertare is where it should be. and he has carpet as a substrate

Although the picture is very small, but the gecko seems very young, and doesn't look sickly thin to me. Do you have an update pic of him? I wouldn't worry too much as long as he is still eating and the tail is not shriveled up.

Hi, at first does the gecko has enough hides? and are the temperature right.

young gecko's need time to fatten up and grow. I suggest that you try and feed him evry day and offer mealworms. And 3 times a week crickets.
