My friend has been starving himself and vomiting up his food consistently for the past 2 years i’d say, he’s about 65kg whilst being around 6’1, i try to tell him that it’s bad for your health and that sooner or later he’ll just put the weight back on again anyway, but he hasn’t, he’s stayed being relatively skinny and there has been no changes in his behaviour or personality in fact i’d say he’s much happier than he’s ever been.

Your friend sounds like he has an eating disorder (bulemia perhaps) but also maybe has some body dysmorphia. At 6’1” 65kg (143 lbs) his BMI is 18.9 which is the very low end of healthy weight. Why is he trying to lose weight in the first place? See if you can get him to seek help.
