Ringnecks are thin birds. If your Ringneck lets you hold him, take him gently in a towel and feel his breastbone. If its breastbone is sharp and there is little flesh, take him to a vet immediately. If your bird still holds his interest in food, which you said he did, everything might be alright.
If you would like to fatten him up a bit, just feed him his usual diet and he’ll jump back to his rightful weight. I would take him to the vet just incase. You never know, he might have a bacterial infection or parasite.
Hope this helps
