This is one of the best posts a new bird owner can read. The 13g drop in 3 days is a textbook warning and you caught it because you escalated from weekly to daily weighing, which is exactly the right move when something feels off. One add for anyone reading: a tiny 500g kitchen scale with 0.1g resolution is $15 on Amazon and more than enough for any parrot under the size of an African grey. Weigh at the same time every day (pre-breakfast after first poop is the convention) and write it down. A 3% drop from baseline over a week is a vet call. I log my birds' weights in an app, but a notebook or Apple Notes works just as well. The point is that you have numbers to show the vet instead of "she's been a bit off." Glad Nameliss is being treated, please update us.
