How much mass does the average sun loose during its life?

Stars don’t “loose” mass, they lose mass. Each second our sun converts more than 4 million tonnes of matter into energy within its core. By the time the sun is an asymptotic red giant (another 4 billion years or so) it will have lost about 30% of its original mass.
