What Causes Fatigue, Severe Hair Loss And Anxiety?

I think I have an underactive thyroid. I m a 20 year old active female. I ve been fatigued, I can t seem to lose the weight I ve put on since going to college even though I now work out daily and eat healthy. My hair is constantly shedding and within the last year it s been more than normal, I think I have anxiety/OCD and even though my eyes have always appeared large (even as a child) that s still a concern of mine. I m wondering if these characteristics are enough to raise a warning flag or if I m just being a hypochondriac.
