Hi,
Thanks for using XXXXXXX
I have gone through available details and also seen attached photos, why do you feel about low testosterone level? You have all the secondary sexual characters and your testes and private part is normal to lead normal life.
Your worry about deposition of fat around waist and thigh is not justified you should take care of diet and do some aerobic exercises like outdoor sports to get into shape.
Your phobia and sweaty hands points to anxiety but we should rule out thyroid disorder hence get FT3, FT4, and TSH levels. You can also repeat testosterone level just to be sure that it is normal.
Please do not lose heart; I would suggest about consulting a good Psychiatrist and discuss your issues .I am sure all your concerns can be easily resolved by proper psychotherapy and if required by appropriate drug therapy.
Hope this information is useful to you; please feel free to ask any follow up query, I will be happy to help you.
Regards.

sir, thansk for the reply. i think i have decrease in libido. maybe due to my anxiety. right. and i started masturbating at age of 14 and i could see a decrease in semen volume. and i have been feeling curious about by body from early teen. my waist is 28 inches and hip circumference is 36 inches. that makes me feel bad, as its typical to a female.

Hi,
Thanks for follow up,
You should understand masturbation is normal at your age, but remember excess is bad.
It is true due to anxiety you may feel in this way, take care of your diet and exercise with high protein and balanced diet you will gain weight.
Normal size of testes 5x2x3 cms also remember size may vary and there may be variation in level which is normal. It is very simple to get a scrotal sonography for exact measurements.
You have secondary sexual characters so Klinefelter syndrome is unlikely and Marfan syndrome the physician will examine you and then can decide.
Hope this information helps please keep me informed about progress.
I will be available for clarification if any.
