Hello and welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of fatigue, weakness, weight gain, difficulty in loosing weight, dry hair, pale skin, cold intolerance, depression etc are suggestive of hypothyroidism.
In hypothyroidism the level of thyroid hormones - T3 and T4 is low and level of TSH is high.
However, your TSH report is showing very low results.
The normal range of TSH is between 0.3-0.5 U/mL.
The value of TSH is very low and this suggests hyperthyroidism.
I suggest you to please post the entire thyroid function test report - T3, T4 and TSH with units for better interpretation.
Thanks and take care
