SHBG is very high. SHBG is made in the liver. Some liver problems can increase SHBG, as well as some other medical issues or starvation diets.
High SHBG creates more SHBG+T that is non-bioavailable and also inflates TT so TT overstates your T status.
We normally expect high SHBG to lower FT and your FT is very good. So this is odd and creates some doubt about what is going on. Your problem does not seem to be low-T.
Low thyroid function as most of the same symptoms as low-T.
