I have/am experiencing all of the following side effects I’m optimistic that with diet and exercise over time T will return to normal range. Normal is approx +150-800 for a male my age.
In males, lower testosterone levels can lead to:
hair loss
a reduction in muscle tone
more fragile skin
a reduced sex drive
mood disturbances
memory or concentration problems

I am 73 and pretty much all of the conditions you describe are present except hair loss. PSA has been < .1 since my radiation therapy in 2016-17. My T is as low as my urologist has ever seen but I can still lift my 850 lb motorcycle to an upright position and do all my normal chores around the house and as a volunteer in a state park. I just tire a bit more easily. I can live with that.
