Thyroid:
TSH should be closer to 1,0
Thyroid lab ranges are rather useless
TSH could be high from not using iodized salt and/or vitamins that list iodine+selenium
What is your history of using iodized salt?
Thyroid is complex and TSH is only one part of the puzzle. The best overall measure of your thyroid function is to check your oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky.
You T is low, but at your age, low-T is a symptom and not the disease. You do not have a diagnosis.

You need to understand why your T is low - diagnostics, so the root cause can hopefully be corrected/managed.
Thyroid issues are very common with guys who come here. Many of the symptoms of low thyroid function are the same as low-T, so you have double problems and fixing T alone would still leave you feeling down. Take this seriously and do not have T-tunnel vision.
