My dog is 13 and in the past few weeks she has been losing weight and is eating and drinking more- does anyone know what this could mean?

A trip to your vet. At 13 it could be a lot of things. Any change in weight needs to be checked out. Please get to your vet.

Yes, if the weight loss it that noticeable, and her eating and drinking habits have changed, there is a red flag to get her to the vet to have a check-up to find out the cause.
MDP is right, it could be many things, from a kidney infection to cancer. I sure hope it's not any of those. But just like us, the sooner the problem is diagnosed, the sooner you can get any treatment needed, and the greater chance of survival! I would make an appt. asap, and increase your chances of your dog living a much longer and healthy life.
Please keep us updated.
