Thyroid is a mess, TSH should be ~1.0
Suspect that you are not using iodized salt and/or a vitamin listing 150mcg iodine + 150-200mcg selenium. Provide your history of these iodine sources. Also provide oral body temperatures, see below. This paragraph is very important. Do not miss points.
Do not tell me that you are using pink salts and are then OK.
fT3 is the active hormone and if rT3 is elevated it can interfere with fT3. fT3 regulated mitochondrial production of ATP [energy] as part of the body’s temperature control look. When fT3 activation of mitochondria gets low, every cell, tissue and organ system slows down and sometimes affects HPTA. The symptoms of low-T and low thyroid function are mostly the same. So your problems can easily be thyroid related. Low thyroid function leads to fat gain - did your parents use iodized salt?
Labs in Canada: You need to know that these issues can be specific to your Provence. Your doc will not order things he does not know about, do your research. http://dbc-labs.com/triiodothyronine-free-ft3-elisa/
Low fat diets are harmful.
Prolactin=6 is low, there is no suggestion of a prolactin secreting pituitary adinoma/tumor. A blow to the head can damage the pituitary.
Training with low-T and low thyroid function can be harmful with young guys compensating with will power and adrenalin. Can lead to adrenal fatigue and elevated rT3.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
