Could be anything: You describe constitutional symptoms that suggest stress is a part, but certainly hormonal disorders like hypothyroidism come to mind. I would urge you to see your doctor. Stop guessing, share your concerns. Good luck.

Not typical: You have several symptoms and signs that are not necessarily related, but i don't see how probiotics would be the cause. I'm not sure a 24 y old needs to take a probiotic on a regular basis. You need a thorough evaluation by your doctor, including a nutritional assessment. I suspect some lifestyle adjustments are in store for you. Good luck.
