Yes, a strict low calorie diet can sometimes lead to hair loss.
I would like to know what medication were you advised by the dermatologist ?
Do you have baldness in your parental line ?

Brief Answer:
Familial
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I would like to know whether you have baldness in your parents either maternal or paternal side .
Minoxdil is not a bad option, it will surly help to retain and regrow the hair.
Also, Finastride taken orally can help.
Do not worry to take medications, as natural techniques might help but are usually skow and can surpass the speed of hairloss at this age.
You can start with medications and once a good volume of hair is retained, we can titrate down the medication and stop altogether.

maternal side - no baldness
paternal side- baldness at top with light visible of baldness , starts at age of 45+
but if i start using minoxidil i need to consistantly follow upto old age right, if i stop that it will start again right?
better give a solution as healty i will follow as your path. but need to retain my hair as soon.

Brief Answer:
Minoxidil for now
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back
For aggressive hair loss i would recommend Minoxidil 5% solution and Tab Finastride 1mg taken daily for a minimum of 3 months.
Once the treatment is enough successful, we can titrate down the dosage and retain the results for longer time.
Hope, I answered your query
Wishing you good health
