Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
As is evident from your weight, you seem to be suffering from obesity which could be associated with insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism. This can be a cause of hair loss in your case in addition to dandruff. You should get yourself investigated for the same by an experienced endocrinologist. If your investigations indicate hyperandrogenism, you may need antiandrogens on advice of the endocrinologist. In addition to this you should modify your lifestyle (to lose weight) and diet (which should be XXXXXXX in proteins).
For dandruff, you should use an antidandruff shampoo like Nizral two to three times in a week.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further enquiries
