THE real reason behind Scott Disick’s extreme weight loss has now been revealed.
The 40-year-old shocked his fans with gaunt look when he stepped out last week as he departed the home of his ex-girlfriend Chloe Bartoli.
Scott, 40, was spotted by paparazzi in Beverly Hills, California near his car in a very laid-back ensemble.
The reality star's frame seemed to be slimmer than most fans are used too as the outfit appeared to look quite baggy.
Additionally, his face looked way more defined than viewers have previously seen on the TV show.

A source close to the Kardashian family has revealed to The Sun that Scott felt like he "had to do something" after putting on weight following surgery.
The insider told us: "He’s really vain - he thinks of himself as the full package - good looking, funny and rich.
"So when Scott put on weight after his back injury, it really hit his self confidence. He had to do something.
"He’s seen how being overweight has hurt Rob Kardashian’s lifestyle - he barely goes out in public and is never on the TV show - and didn’t want the same thing to happen to him. He knows he’s taken it too far.”
Scott revealed on The Kardashians reality show that he'd gained weight after he suffered an injury to his back when he was involved in a nasty car crash in 2022.
The Mail previously reported that the star used weight-loss drug Ozempic.
The medication been a huge craze in Hollywood as huge stars such as Sharon Osbourne, Oprah Winfrey and Amy Schumer have all admitted to trying it out.
Insiders also previously told the outlet that Scott also turned to the injections because he would compare himself to Kourtney's new husband Travis Barker.
A source revealed: "Kourtney’s marriage to Travis took a toll on Scott and as he got bigger he was comparing himself to Travis – and Travis being thin didn’t help
