What is the probability that a loner who engages in no social contact can just study mathematics and science all day after work, read, think, and eventually will discover something profound and important?

Do you have to actively look for unsolved problems or is there a chance that with enough autistic obsession you will find a problem nobody has even asked yet and solve it?

It's possible. Talking with people that know their field increases the chances a lot.
Fact is that there are more problems than there are scientists. The hard part is simply looking for the set of problems that nobody else has time/skill/interest to solve, but you do.
