T3 T4 and TSH seem to b low. So going by ur symptoms are all consistent with hypothyrodisum and going by the report suggest secondary hypothyrodisum. But cannot just conclude with one report. Secondary is a rare cause of hypothyrodisum. So I would suggest reconfirm the thyroid report in a different standard lab and if still suggest hypothyrodisum can start on medicines.

Next Steps

Repeat thyroid function test
