What Causes Loss Of Eyelashes?

since menopause, I have gained 40 pounds in 5 1/2 years despite
more and harder exercise etc. I thought maybe thyroid or hormone
problems, but my doctor would only do the general thyroid test and
it came back within normal ranges (my two sisters both take thyroid
meds- T4 low). The last 2 1/2 months, I began loosing by eyelashes.The top lashes are almost gone dispite use of expensive eyelash
growth serums. Do you think this could be thyroid or hormone problems? How do I get my doctor to test? Should I see a endocrinologist?
