memory loss at mid 30s old no injuries

I had no head injuries, around 2 years back I noticed more or less sudden loss of memory and general loosing track of almost everything in my life

-short term memory was decreased - for a healthy person it feels the same as just being introduced to 5 new people and forgetting their names minute after
-recalling things take longer time than it used to be
-drop of sex drive a little bit, I can still perform couple of times a day just I can much easier forget about it for a week or month, almost no instant erections, in general feeling decreased sex drive later throughout the day
-loosing sense of time very easily
-loosing track of a current day in a week
-loosing track of conversations from yesterday or sometimes forgetting things from the current conversation
-more prone to reckless or impulsive behavior by getting carried away way too easily by everything
-feelings in general lack depth, sometimes it feels like brain is locked up inside the head and doesnt accept common depth of taste or excitement
-tv and movies doesnt keep you in the moment
-exercise - lack of any feeling after workout, no endorphin rushes anymore
-coffee doesnt give that happy feeling anymore.
-no higher feelings towards opposite sex anymore, interest doesnt build up that easily as it was earlier
-not sure but seems like some skin injuries recover more slowly
-3-4 days after workout muscles get tired back again as with months without training
-teeth pain gives me head pains too
-I get stressed more easily but my whole life was stressful, feelings of luck and accomplishment doesnt last long
-Workout effects doesnt make me feel any way stronger I don't feel jumpy fresh happy or anything thats strong, actually I feel like an old man.
-I sleep mostly throughout whole night, the problem it is not that uncommon to wake up tired or having drowsiness feelings throughout the day
-I sometimes feel pukey feeling in the morning around 5am

I don't take drugs at all, I don't even drink alcohol. It was worst at the beginning, after heavy medicating with piracetam variations got some decent progress but still some issues persist. I often stay away from sugar and beveraged drinks. I drink coffee without milk most of the time, I use lactose-free products whenever I can.

I did took one year peg int 2 alpha therapy but that was already one year after start of the problems with memory

The tests that I took:
-neurologist suggested metabolic disease due to hepatitis b infection (fibrosis is around 5 percent mostly measured), disputed by all hepatitis liver doctors
-shrink said she couldnt diagnose it
-neuro-psychologist said it looks similar to depression and anhedonia, some memory results were superb, some below average
-MRI of the head shown nothing unusual
-EEG shown very dominant theta waves with very very rare sporadic lower alpha waves
-thyroid ok, neck blood flow also ok
-one doctor diagnosed IBS, other could not confirm it
-blood pressure in general often close to 120/90
-sugar in blood at lower levels (60-70)
-some issues (cracking sounds or pain) in knees 2-5 months after ending peg-int 2alpha therapy
-there might be some issues with kidneys (one elevated sample)
-I don't have an active lifestyle, sit behind desk all day or lie down or walk. I work out mostly 3 days during week for up to 40 minutes max I guess.
-some untreated teeth problems
-took on around 5-6 kg overweight through the process

First off, it's been quite some time since you posted. Any updates? You didn't post your age either which helps, so how old are you?

Can anyone suggest a possible disease or additional tests to rule-out/check?
