I understood your concern and noted the problem as well .I need to ask few more details to make a diagnosis and start treatment and advice which suits you. Pl consult me on Practo , so that I can help you better.book a time slot as per your convenience for consultation.
As per your result only TSH is above normal and T3 T4 are normal ,it's known as subclinical hypothyroidism.
You being an IT professional desk based job,you are prone to put on weight, unless you are particular about weight and life style
In subclinical hypothyroidism treatment is initiated only if TSH is above 10, unless person is symptomatic.At this point you could repeat the test after 2 months again along with lipid profile, liver function tests, renal function tests and fasting glucose levels and HBA1C
Next Steps
