Yes I always lose my appetite when I'm anxious. I'll get to the point my stomach is making noises and I'm getting stomach pains because I'm just so hungry. But yet I have no desire to eat whatsoever. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat something which is tough. I normally have a big appetite and love to eat food lol but if I'm super anxious I just can't ☹️
Get outside and walk . It really helped me. I went w my dog. Could hardly go a block and hated it but kept it up. I ended up walking 5 miles a day for many years. I haven’t walked 5 miles in a long time but I still try and get outside and walk for exercise, not for pleasure
I also never cared how far I went, I just pushed myself to either stay the same distance day after day (even if it was a half a block) , or push a few steps forwards. I can honestly say I became addicted. I had all the winter walking gear/face shield for wind/freezing rain. I was a die hard for maybe 6-7 years. Then life got ahead of me lol
Good luck!
Exercise. Sunlight. Make it a goal to walk 10k steps outside every single day. Get a smartwatch to keep you accountable. My Apple Watch is great for this. It reminds me to get up and shows my step count.
If you can tolerate it, cannabis may help with the anxiety and the appetite. I know it’s not for everyone. If you can’t tolerate cannabis then try CBD.
Sleep is important. Make sure you have a regular routine and get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Staying up late at night and not getting enough sleep leads to brain fog and more anxiety. You got this.

Yes, I've gotten back in an exercise routine again and it's helped. Maybe sleep is my problem :(

I can’t relate. Usually don’t lose my appetite
Thank you for the highly helpful and informative response. OP is now properly equipped to deal with the problem that they sought advice on due to the fact you cannot relate and that your appetite is perfectly fine.
