Yes it look like subclinical hypothyroidism. You can wait and repeat test after 3 months. Get your Free T4 test done . It is the actual action form of thyroxine available for tissues. If its low then it is recommended to start thyroxine supplimentation. Do you have family history for thyroid disorders ?
