Hi Alan
If it is loosing weight I would be checking the bottom for a crack. Gently
roll it toward the stem and feel the bottom for a soft spot. If everything is OK
then I would leave it on. Usually when they start going orange they are about
as big as they will get but they can still put on weight the longer they are
on the vine.
Best of luck
Bill
