Brief Answer:
Hypothyroidism

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic
Your reports are suggestive of Hypothyroidism which means under functioning of thyroid hormone
you need thyroid hormone supplementation therapy.
Since it is a chronic disease and you require close monitoring and follow up so, in my opinion you should consult an endocrinologist for prescription of thyroid hormone drug (thyroxine) and further course of action.

Hope this answers your question
Please feel free to ask for follow up, I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
