My son doesn't feel cold
My son doesn't like to wear cloths at home. In winters, he lets me shut the heat in his room because he feels hot. The most sentences I hear from him are:
It's burning
I am not hungry
Sitting in his room wearing thick cloth, I still feel cold. But whenever my son coming back from school, he will be only in his underpants and will be sitting there all day and never feel cold.
He also doesn't eat much. He can skip a few meals whenever he doesn't have his favorite food. He can also eat a lot when he likes the food.
Should I need to worry about anything?

Body temperature actually does not vary a lot between individuals contrary to Lakshmi's answer unless you have a fever. More information is needed to answer the question. Age, body weight / height and calorie intake per day as well as a recent history of unintentional weight gain or weight loss for starters. How long has this been going on for and are there other symptoms? Is your son actually unwell?
Also: It may be you whose temperature perception is off. It is well known that women, especially as they get older are less tolerant to colder temperatures than men. What is the actual temperature in your house and in his room? Maybe he is trying to escape from the excessive heat you create to be comfortable.
A common sense or intuition question: Does your son appear ill to you? Does he look or feel unwell?
Examples of symptoms that would suggest he has some illness:
His behavior has changed, so he was not always like this
Increased body temperature (did you measure it?)
Night sweats
Fatigue
Paleness
Cough
Changed bowel habits
Pain (headache, stomach pain...)
Rash
One disorder, among others, with feeling of warmth and appetite changes is hyperthyroidism (Endocrinoweb)
