Hi,
You are having a slightly under active thyroid. If I were your treating Endo I would have started on thyroxine to bring your TSH below 3 miu/L as you are in reproductive age group and you are over weight.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards
