Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Scott Disick was recently seen dining out with friends in Los Angeles, USA, showing noticeable weight loss, prompting speculation about his health and lifestyle changes.
The 40-year-old socialite was spotted on Saturday (March 16) for a meal at Catch Steak restaurant in West Hollywood, alongside friends, looking drastically different.
Scott seemingly shed quite a bit of weight as he was seen cruising down a street with his pal Jordan Barrett, a fashion model.
Photographs and footage also showed the single father-of-three seated next to a mystery woman, TMZ reported.
Scott reportedly looked a good deal skinnier than he’s been known to look in the past.
He was observed wearing some baggy clothes. “We know Scott’s been focused on his weight in recent months,” TMZ reported.

The reality TV star’s weight was a topic abroached during the most recent season of The Kardashians when his former sister-in-law Khloé Kardashian took him to a doctor to talk about a back injury he sustained after a car crash back in 2022.
Scott was seen telling the doctor the crash had led to him gaining some weight and also diminished his sexual performance.
While fans have been worried that his new look could be due to illness or an addiction problem, Scott has seemingly resorted to using the weight-loss drug Ozempic to slim down his frame, The Mirror reported.
According to UC Davis Health, Ozempic is used in adults with type 2 diabetes as a weekly injection to help lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin. However, the drug has been popularized among celebrities for rapid weight loss.
Scott reportedly turned to the drug after struggling with his “dad bod” when he gained weight after his car accident.
An insider told DailyMail.com: “He is not ill and isn’t doing hardcore drugs.
“Kourtney would never allow Scott to spend so much time with their kids if he was in the throes of an addiction.”
Scott was married to Kourtney Kardashian from 2006 to 2015. The former couple share three children.

The insider went on to explain that Scott had been struggling with low self-esteem due to his weight gain and couldn’t stand how he looked.
They added: “Scott started taking Ozempic because he had serious issues with his weight gain.
“This time last year he saw himself as fat.
“He had gained a lot of weight and couldn’t stand seeing himself in video footage that aired in the past couple of months.
“He would go to great lengths to cover it up.”
