Hi,
You have to rule out hyperthyroid by serum TSH estimation. If it comes normal than stress or anxiety indices hair fall and weight loss can be possible.
You can Consult a nearby psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and behavioral counseling.
Anti-anxiety medication like alprazolam or clonazepam also can be prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
