Loss of appetite is always a serious sign in any kitty.
The white dandruff things might be due to dry skin caused by dehydration.
If she is losing weight and is sluggish, somethings up.
Might be worms, or an intestinal parasite.
She definitely needs a check-up at the vet.
Good luck,

I have a 14yr old male cat who has the same problems. In his case he also had increased fluid intake which means he has kidney disease. I would see your veterinarian as soon as possible.
