Hi, I have read your query and will try explain what it means.
(Based on average ranges, but all labs have their own reference values, so you can refer to your lab report for ranges)
FSH-is high.
Testosterone- low.

A high FSH means the testicles are not functioning properly.
The FSH tells the testes to work and make sperms, but when the testes function is abnormal, the FSH rises as it doesn't get the feedback from the testes.

Please consult an infertility specialist who can guide you. Your sperm count needs to be checked as well, as it maybe low. There are assisted fertility options that your doctor can help you with.
Hope I have helped you understand the problem.
All the best.
