Hi, it appears to be due to the hypothyroid condition. or may be some other harmonal problem. I advise you to consult an endocrinologist for diagnosis and treatment.You have mentioned gave soya milk, in the child hood if it is due to lactose intolarance avoid giving milk and milk products now also.
I advise you to give green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. Thank you.
