loss of weight and hair loss

My Cat is almost 18 years old the last six months she has lost weight and is licking her hair off her belly and feet
I take her to the vet and they give her a shot but it does not last long .  She went from 10lbs to now 6lbs. she has never been fat but never that skinny and never has she licked the hair off her feet and belly.   I keep her Littler box
clean.  I don't know what else to do now.  I am taking her to the vet again tomorrow.
