Her thyroid is normal, so do not attempt to tamper with dose right now. Mostly thyroid has to be given lifelong.

The most common cause of hypothyroidism in India is auto immune ( Hashitmoto's thyroiditis)
Unfortunately it is not curable.
But luckily it can be very well managed.
She will have to take the supplements lifelong and check her thyroid status once every six months.
Her TSH is within the normal range, that means that she's on the optimal dose of Thyroxine.
Continue the same dose.
