For adding custom layout in admin panel I use below steps:-

1) In project folder go to

vendor/magento/module_theme/view/frontend/page_layout/

here create xml file which want to show in admin->categories->design tab->in layout dropdown.

2) Add the newly created xml entry in below file

vendor/magento/module_theme/view/frontend/layout.xml

Then automatically the custom layout design pages will appear in admin layout.
