Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

High LDL and low HDL carries more risk of heart diseases than High total cholesterol. You will need stronger anticholesterol medications like Statins.
TSH is also on the higher side where you must be started on Thyroxine hormone.

I strongly recommend you to consult an Internal medicine specialist who can advice medications after physically examining you. Physical examination is must to decide on what dose you must be put on.

Diet wise you may have to consume low fat and low carbohydrate diet.

If any doubts please ask,

Regards,
