Your brother’s problems are all connected — low Vitamin D, low B12, mild anemia, osteoporosis, hair thinning, fatigue and being too skinny. This usually happens when the body is not absorbing nutrients properly for a long time. So instead of going to many specialists separately, he should start with one doctor who can connect everything and correct the root cause.
He should first consult a general physician or an internal medicine doctor so that all deficiencies, anemia and bone health can be treated together. After correcting the medical issues, a proper nutrition plan is needed to gain weight, improve energy and stop hair fall.
Once the blood levels start improving, he will naturally feel better and hair fall will also reduce. If you share his exact Vitamin D, B12 and anemia values, I can guide you with the right diet and treatment. Consult me for better solution.

First of all he should consult to a general physician followed by dietary advise. These issues can be due to low metabolic rate as well
That can be treated easily with the help of dietary modification and constitution (vata/pitta/kapha) check.
