Brief Answer:
Iron and Biotin

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and reports.
The reports are normal expect for cholesterol levels.
However cholesterol levels are not related to hair fall.
It can be related to weight gain.
Your thyroid levels are also normal.
I suggest you to do some exercise to loose weight.
For hair fall you can take iron and biotin supplements.
Take these for 3 months you will get results.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you
