My comments:

She has not lost three precious stones in the form of jade or diamond. Nothing like that. Instead, she’s lost about 20 kilos in weight.

Kilogram is the international system for weight measurement. In Britain, especially locally, people still use traditional measurements, of which “stone” is a part.

If you look it up in the dictionary (I wonder why you didn’t), you’ll see that a stone is equal to 6.35kg.

At any rate, translators should try to understand the original text right before attempting to put it into another language.

Guesswork, well, doesn’t work.
