Can't help you with Trichotillomania but hitting the gym tends to help with weight and confidence. I don't know your situation but I was bordering on obesity and I was suggested 10min warmup + stronglifts 5x5 + 10min cool down as a routine. I did it for almost a year and it definitely had a impact on my weight and confidence.
If you're not sure where to start have a session with a personal trainer with the purpose of setting up your own routine and then just stick with it. It feels really hard at first but after you start seeing results it'll get easier.
It certainly helps with fitness, and somewhat with confidence, but just being fit isn't going to get you laid. I'd also see a therapist regularly for the mental and emotional parts of health.
Which is exactly why I'm treating both at the same time. Doc got me on Wegovy, and starting out playing beat saber (holy shit 30 minutes of that is incredible, sweat, aches everywhere, maybe not visible progress but damn I feel like moving is less effort) and in therapy for everything in my life.
Right now I'm learning my strengths. Hard to do for someone without a lot of confidence.
