Hello dear
I understand your concern

Compare your thyroid report with normal thyroid profie
Total T3: 60 - 200ng/dl_______________________1.22_______low
Total T4 : 4.5 - 12.0 μg/dl_____________________5.8______normal
TSH: 0.30 - 5.5 μIU/ml_____________________8.33____high

Your report suggest low T3 and High TSH suggests hypothyroidism.
Consult the endocrinologist and go for free T3 and free T4 to more accurate diagnosis.
Doctor will give thronorm/synthetic thyroid hormone for hypothyroidism
and repeat the test after one month of treatment and it help in decide the proper dose.
regular exercise and avoid high fat diet.
Hope this may help you
Best regard
