Varying  tsh might have triggered the hair loss but common  things such as halogen or androgenetic  alopecia  need to be taken into account
Next Steps
it would be best to get it examined  and get a prescription  properly with a dermatologist.  you may also choose  to do an online  consultation with me for the same.
