It is not that number, it is the next four. 61 is unremarkable for an adult male. What matters is whether it is still roughly 61 next Sunday and the one after. You now have a baseline, which is more than you had this morning.

Get a kitchen scale that reads in grams and weigh him the same day every week. Write the number down somewhere you will not lose it.
That one habit answers the question you are actually asking. A healthy adult in a seasonal slowdown holds his weight more or less flat for weeks. A gecko that is losing weight needs a vet whatever the month is. Two weeks off food on a steady number is a season. Two weeks off food on a falling number is not, and nothing about the behaviour you described tells the two apart.
