It could be adrenal insufficiency from the features you just mentioned.

Do an ACTH stimulation test after consulting with an endocrinologist. Also rule out hypothyroidism as these symptoms of hair loss, cold intolerance, feeling weak could be related to thyroid too and it's more commonly seen than adrenal insufficiency.
