When to do vitamin d test

I am using vit d3 every month from past 4 months as prescribed by endocrinologist.I had done vitamin d test on 05/5/20 and my level is 48ng/ml (my endocrinologist adviced me to stop taking vit d3) but 15 days before test (20/04/20) i took vitamin d3 60000iu capsule (i think my endocrinologist is not aware of that) Does it effect test results? Do i need to test again? When to do test if i am using vit d3 tablet?

Hello, I have been diagnosed with graves disease in oct 19,since then i hsve been on medication for increasing and decreasing my tsh,which went from undetectable to 46 in 40 days and i gained around 12 kgs in that span,since then i could not get that back in range.i m still 6 on tsh.and i had started gym n dieting but no weight loss. How long would it take for things to get back on track,could i loose weight once my tsh becomes normal,i mean my ability to loose weight if i work on it,as right now whatever i do it doesn't budge.
