I created a challenge for an unrated game hoping to play against stronger players without the pressure of losing points and to my surprise i lost points after losing the game. Why would that happen?

Because you played a rated game.
I wouldn't worry about it. Normally when you lose to someone rated much higher, you lose very few points, if any.
Which game are you talking about? I don't see any mismatches among your recent history, except for bullet, where you just started playing so your rating will adjust more quickly than usual.

Sorry for not responding the android app doesn't notify when people reply!
I specifically created a challenge and specified the game to be unrated and still lost points

Thanks for replying
You can't lose points on an unrated game.
It must have been rated.
What/when was the game? Who was the opponent?
At any rate, don't worry about your rating. Your rating adjusts pretty quickly once you start improving. It's not something you need to protect.
It's not worth anything in itself. It just helps you get a good match. If you lose 10 games in a row, it will help your next match be one where you have a chance.
