We're trying some steroids twice a day for a few days and will just continue to monitor her over the weekend.
She is still eating well but is quite lethargic; spending a lot of her time just sleeping or resting on her sides. Very little interest in grooming herself.

Did you do an X-ray or an ultrasound? Sometimes they show a tumor or an infection when blood test results are relatively normal (one of my cats had a chronic liver/small intestine problem which was diagnosed only by ultrasound, the only symptom was weight loss.)
