You should check for thyroid antibodies like TPOab and anti-Tg, your hair fall can be thyroid related (Go to a ENDO). About hair fall could try natural supplemments with gelatin, Vit B6 and cysteine  (200 mg ).

Could be from your thyroid if you were Hypo but sorry I didn't understand your results, your T4 is 0.83? that looks a little low, but what is your TSH ???
Hair fall is not only thyroid related, do you have more symptoms???

You need to check the causes, first what is your TSh?, how low is your free T4? are you taking pills??
