Do T4 Being 5.5mcg/dl And TSH 3.59mcunit/ml Suggest Hypothyroidism?

My daughters lab results came back as the following....
Only completed labs are shown. Results in red indicate results outside the reference range.

     Category     Test      Result          Range
THBR (Thyroid Hormone Binding Ratio)     0.84          0.77–1.16
T4 (Thyroxine)     5.5     mcg/dL     4.7–12.4
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)     3.59     mcunit/mL     0.7–5.7
T4 (Thyroxine), Free     0.77     ng/dL     0.8–1.9

I see the t4 is low.....is the tsh considered on the higher end....and does that mean hypothyroidism?
