Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss And Excessive Weight Gain

My daughter is loosing her hair and gaining weight, even though she is exercising and eating well. Her thyroid #s are good, but the Dr. Still put her on a low dose of synthroid, but symptoms still persist. Are there any other things she should have her Dr. test for? (also she has no insurance so she is a cash only patient, so the fewer tests the better)
