Hi welcome to HCM....

You are loosing weight and hair ....

The cause has to be searched for to stop that ....

Hyperthyroidism , HIV should be ruled out first ...

For that investigate with serum TSH , free T4 etc and ELISA test for HIV...

Take healthy nutritional diet with more protein diet and fruits more ...

Chronic infection also can lead such condition....

Take care
