Brief Answer:
Blood picture suggestive of microcytic hypochromic blood picture

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on Healthcare magic.
Your blood report shows anemia or low haemoglobin with low MCV and low MCH.
This picture is suggestive of microcytic hypochromic anemia.
Microcytic hypochromic anemia is characteristic of iron deficiency.
I suggest you to get a peripheral blood smear examination along with iron studies.
In case there is iron deficiency, iron supplements can be started after consulting your physician.

Will be happy to answer more queries.
Thanks and take care
