Brief Answer:
Management of hair fall and under eye dark circles

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Excessive hair fall and dark circles seems to be related to your weight loss.
There are many causes of hair loss and dark circles in females.
The most common causes being anemia, deficiency of vitamin D and Vitamin B12, low iron stores ,thyroid dysfunction, past history of fever like typhoid, dengue, certain medicines, chronic diseases, hormonal imbalance, recent history of child birth, past history of accidents, surgery or trauma.
I would recommend you to get your haemoglobin, thyroid function tests, serum vitamin D levels, serum vitamin B12 levels and serum ferritin levels checked.
Meanwhile you can start with hair serum like folliserum on the scalp twice daily and hair supplements like tablet follihair once daily.
For dark circles apply depigmenting cream containing kojic acid like Melaglow new cream on the dark circles twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a sunscreen on the entire face during the day time.
These medicines need to be continued for 3-4 months to see significant results.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
