It seems like you may be onto something here.

When I query "weight loss tracker", what's interesting is that MyFitnessPal comes in at #4 which has a subtitle of "Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker".

I also get 0 results for "predictive weight loss tracker" even though that matches the app's subtitle. Seems weird.

The Happy Scale app itself does look really well done though. Looking forward to giving it a try.

The number 1 app that comes up for me with the term "weight loss tracker" is called "Monitor Your Weight" and looks significantly less polished than your app. But it uses the term "weight tracker" in the first few words of the app description and not in the subtitle. Your app doesn't use the phrase anywhere in the description that I saw. Maybe subtitles are now ignored for search ranking (due to bug or intentional)?

Nice looking app. You may have gotten a new customer in me.
