What Causes Hair Loss Along With Weight Gain And Fatigue?

In the last year I have experienced extreme hair thinning (falling out, not breaking) gradual weight gain, tire more easily, Rosacea and my nails have got white streaks through them and break easily. I have always had thick hair and strong nails. I am a 68 yr. old female. Walk 4 miles in 1 hr. 5x week. 5 4 120 lbs. and 135 in a year time. Had a MAC infection 4 yrs ago and was on heavy doses of antibiotics for 1 yr. What is off. my DR. has ruled out thyroid and hormone imbalance. Prescribed meds are Simvastatin for cholesterol and Diltiazem for rapid/irregular heart.
