Rob Kardashian has made great progress in terms of health and relationships with his famous family, a source told ET.

The 31-year-old reality star, who has remained largely out of the spotlight since her very public separation from ex-fiancée Blac Chyna last July, lost a lot of weight, said our source. In addition to weight loss – which the source estimates between 30 and 50 pounds – the source notes that Rob is working hard to put his life back in order, especially for the sake of his one-year-old daughter, Dreaming.

"It was very important for Rob not to be in the limelight," the source said, noting that giving up Instagram had also been particularly beneficial to him. "He needed to completely change his life, things were getting out of control, his health and relationships were suffering. He needed to refocus.

"His life is completely different now," added the source.

According to the source, although Rob was in a dark place at the same time last year, his outlook has changed considerably as a result of improving his co-parenting relationship with Chyna, as well as controlling his health by working with professionals, exercising and eating well.
