Your TSH (5) is slightly high, suggesting subclinical hypothyroidism, which may explain weight gain, fatigue, and skin changes.
Next Steps:
✔ Check Free T3, Free T4, Anti-TPO antibodies.
✔ Improve diet & exercise.
✔ Recheck TSH in 6-8 weeks.
Next Steps
If symptoms worsen, you may need low-dose thyroid medication. Consult an endocrinologist if needed.
