When someone notices, I never know what to say

Someone at work mentioned I looked different last week and I completely blanked. I’m down 22 pounds since January, mostly from eating breakfast at home, walking after lunch, and keeping my evening snacks boring. I don’t mind that she noticed, but I don’t want to turn it into a whole medical Q&A either. My current go-to is: “Thanks — I’ve been working on some steadier habits.” Then I ask about their weekend or whatever is nearby. It feels honest without oversharing. But with my aunt, who means well and asks three follow-ups, I’m still awkward. Do you have a short reply that keeps things warm but not open-ended? And do you ever mention the medication piece, or just keep it vague? I’d love to hear what actually feels comfortabe for you.
