How Can Low Libido And Excessive Weight Gain Be Treated?

I recently had blood work done and my testosterone levels came back 42ng/dl and free testosterone was at 4.2. I have no sexual desire, can t lose weight or gain muscle, and am absolutely lethargic. Dr. put me on 200mg of testosterone cypianate once a week injection. Been on it two weeks so far. After the injection I feel like a brand new person. Not depressed,mental clarity,energy etc.. But after three days it crashes and I m back to where I originally was. Is this normal or will he need to raise my dosage? Thank you!
