Thyroid and weight gain

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I am a 23 years old female with height 5'4 and weight 78kg. I started using thyroid medicine when I was 18 years old. Due to my irregular periods, I consulted Gyno, she then suggested thyroid test and prescribed me with Sodium thyroxine tablets. I stopped taking that medicine almost 1.5 years ago, but I am again facing weight gain and irregular periods problem. So I did thyroid profiling and the following result came. T3: 109.84 T4: 6.60 TSH : 3.983 Please suggest what should I do next. Thanks and regards.
