If you go to another internet connection (from your home internet for example or via mobile internet) does the FQDN work?

Ok, it should not be related to loopback then I think, but the firewall may still be blocking the access.

So in this case I would recommend going through our MikroTik guide here, step by step: https://www.3cx.com/docs/mikrotik-firewall-configuration/

If there is an issue with you firewall blocking the access to the management console then changing the operating system will make no difference if you are still behind the same firewall. You need to troubleshoot the issue by looking into your firewall. If you do not know how to do that then perhaps it would be beneficial to contact a 3CX partner to get some assistance.
