Hi,
It doesn't suggestive of thalassemia. In thalassemia there is low hemoglobin and peripheral smear shows microcytic hypochromic picture with target cells. It suggestive more towards Vitamin B12 deficiency.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
