    Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Weight that Jon gained in December = 2.2 kilograms

    Weight that Jon lost in January = 1.5 kilograms

    Weight that Jon lost in February = 3.7 kilograms

    Overall Change in his weight = Total Weight he gained - Total weight he Lost

    Total weight he gained is 2.2 kilograms as he only gained weight in December. Total weight he lost will be sum of weights he lost in January and February.

    So, total weight Jon lost = 1.5 + 3.7 = 5.2 kilograms

    Thus,

    Total change in Jon's Weight = 2.2 - 5.2 = - 3.0 kilograms

    This shows that Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.

    Conclusion:

    The statement that best describe the total change in his weight is: Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months
