Did he ever give a reason for the weight loss/lean out, health or otherwise?

The man’s know for being large and muscular, so I’m curious why the change.

I would guess that it is related to the fact that he is in his 50s now and the last few years the PED rumors have been growing louder. He needed a way to not be huge and that was going to take committing to the size.
Why he sweating? Drink some water jeez.

Why he sweating?

Because it was over 80°F / 27°C in Venice.

Drink some water

What do you think sweat is made up of?

I think it is more likely he stopped the “enhancement” because they have well know health impacts and he wants to live longer.
Ya, that was my first thought when I saw the picture, figured he’s getting older and possibly not able to hit the juice like he was when he was younger.
Same happened with Dave Bautista and I think John Cena started doing the same too.
I think the lifestyle wasn't too healthy and they all moved away from wrestling to movies so they don't need to be full on pumped up.
