Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Hemoglobin level is good, however anisocytosis suggests early possibly onset of iron or vitamin B12 deficiency. RDW is also high indicating the same anisocytosis
2. Get a serum iron studies and B12 assay done for evaluation.
3. At present, nothing to worry. Do followup after a month with reticulocyte count.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
