Your tsh is borderline high. Repeat after a month. All your problems could be related to hypothyroidism.
Start tablet eltroxin 2.5mg one daily
Try reducing weight with healthy fat free diet and regular exercise. Include more greens fiber proteins and carbs in your diet
For high LDL cholesterol, take fat free diet tab Atorvastatin 10mg one after dinner for a month

Hi,
I understand your concerns. It's first important for us to understand what level of lifestyle changes you have done and whether we can do them slightly better.
For a TSH of 6.5 at an age of 30, you don't need to be started on thyroid medicines
At an age of 30 without another disease you are at a low risk in terms of cholesterol levels. LDL we aim at less than 100 but I am sure you will get there without medicine
Next Steps
Do consult when feasible. I can help you connect with the right people for a proper diet and fitness regimen

Thank you for sharing. Based on your symptoms and reports, this appears to be a case of subclinical hypothyroidism, elevated LDL, and likely hormonal imbalance, possibly PCOS or insulin resistance-related.
Consider starting low-dose levothyroxine (after discussing with your endocrinologist)
Likely insulin resistance: Check fasting blood sugar, insulin/HbA1c.
Rule out PCOS with ultrasound & hormonal panel
Next Steps
Try low-carb, anti-inflammatory diet (more vegetables, healthy fats, lean proteins). Add selenium (100–200 mcg/day), iodine and zinc (15–30 mg/day) to support thyroid function. Increase fiber (flaxseeds, oats, chia seeds), omega-3s (fish oil or walnuts), and plant sterols.
Practice yoga (esp. thyroid- and PCOS-specific asanas), pranayama, and stress reduction daily.
Good sleep, less screen time, and reduced sugar are crucial. Weight reduction aline can help reduce metabolic issues.

For managing thyroid and cholesterol, focus on a balanced diet that includes iodine-rich foods like seaweed and dairy, selenium-rich foods like Brazil nuts, lean proteins like chicken and fish, whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, and healthy fats like avocado and nuts, while limiting processed foods, sugary snacks, and saturated fats found in red meat and full-fat dairy products.
