There is a leak somewhere and if there is no leak, from an external source, then the engine is leaking internally.
My recommendation is to have a coolant pressure test and a combustion leakage check on the radiator. This will pinpoint where you are losing the coolant or if you have an internal engine leak.
If you need some help with these checks, feel free to reach out to a qualified mechanic who can diagnose the source of your coolant leak and make the necessary repairs.
