Hi,
From the results I think your thyroid function tests is normal and thyroid antibodies are increased. This show that you dont have hypothyroidism now, but is at risk of hypothyroidism.
I would suggest you to have your thyroid function tests done every 6-12 months and start on treatment when your TSH start elevating above normal.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
