Hello dear,
It may be due to thyroid problem.
Please do full thyroid profile.
Cause of rise in thyroid are: auto immune disease, thyrodidtis, lack of iodine in salt.
So please do thyorid profile, lipid profile and if needed USG of neck to diagnose thyroid disease after consultant with doctor.
Hope this may help you.
Take care
