Brief Answer:
Many causes, should be diagnosed by appropriate investigations

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I have reviewed the report. The thyroid hormone levels are completely within normal limits.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease, or due to weight gain.
If there is any possibility of pregnancy, then do a urine pregnancy test to confirm.
If no chance or no history of any sexual activity, then you should get your prolactin levels and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment timely.
Polycystic ovarian disease also lead to weight gain and irregular periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
