We see that your question is a continuation of the intense سلسلة الوسوسة (obsessive whispering/doubts) you are suffering from regarding apostasy, disbelief, and hypocrisy. You mentioned that you are afflicted with obsessive doubts, so we advise you to fear Allah and stop giving in to these obsessive thoughts. As long as the person concerned does not know that he is a hypocrite, he is not a hypocrite.
