Brief Answer:
Continue the same dosage at present.

Detailed Answer:
You have not provided the details asked that how much medicine was she taking previously.
As I can assess the reports it seems that earlier she was on higher doses which made her TSH low and so she was shifted to lower doses. In such case as per her current reports I would recommend the same dosage of 75 micrograms to be continued.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
