Can I ask what you do enjoy? Since you seem to obviously not enjoy the subjects you take in school.
I have a friend, who took the "traditional school institutions failed me" approach and just fucked around all through high school, and then got amazing standardized test scores because he's really smart. He stopped stressing about school and started learning about things he wanted to learn about. He then got full rides to lots of little hippy colleges throughout the U.S (because he had great SAT and ACT scores). The only downside is that if you do this, you limit yourself to only going to "alternative" schools like Evergreen or something, although McGill in Canada is a really good school and I know lots of smart stoners who went there.
That's one "solution", but I don't know all the details of your situation.
To be honest, rereading what you wrote, it kinda sounds like you're just straight up depressed. I don't know how close you were with your grandpa, but that combined with the slight weight gain and apathy thing seems to fit the general description of depression. Not like, rocking yourself to sleep crying depressed, but more the disinterest towards stuff in your life depression. I have had bouts of depression throughout my life, and I realized reading what you wrote that I have often felt like that. Perhaps you just have weird chemical levels in your brain.
