Thyroid and weight: Given your question i feel that you need to have a visit with your medical provider and have some more labs drawn. The inability to gain weight seems like too much thyroid....If that is the culprit. But, the other symptoms, the hair loss seems more likely a low thyroid. So, not much more to say here in this forum but please get some new blood tests.
