Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have hypothyroidism.
Hair loss, puffy face, weight gain all are common symptoms of hypothyroidism. You need to take thyroxine.

You should go for T3, T4 and TSH level. Then plan accordingly.

Drugs like synthroid, eltroxin, armour etc can be taken according to advice.

Hashimoto thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease of thyroid which lead to hypothyroidism.
