Disclaimer I do not intend to get or suspect to need TRT, but this was the section with the closest topic/subject, ie. endocrinology.
I will see the doctor tomorrow and want to get a first opinion.
I am 18 years old, male, play soccer regularly and also calisthenics. The last couple of months my hands have been getting a slightly orange-ish tone, I am always cold,no libido, I feel fatigued, I am recurrently constipated, fart a lot, and during the last three weeks, my gym numbers have stalled and have even regressed, plus I have felt very sore after every workout, something that never happened to me. The stall could be in part because I also resumed playing soccer after an injury without upping my calories accordingly, but I suspect the major cause is that I have been undereating.
Very importantly, I did some crash dieting mistakes back in november and december, consuming 1600 calories some days and even 800 calories once or twice, trying to get to 10% from 11% BF. To exacerbate the problem, I do intermittent fasting so perhaps I was undereating even when not dieting, before I tracked my maintenance calories
My stats: 65kg, 10% BF, 5´9´´
So, here are the results, this was all I could get tested for (I translated this the best I could from spanish btw):

Please, I want to go back doing calisthenics (and progressing lol) and playing soccer normally, but, apparently based on some metabollic damage articles, I have to rest a couple of weeks and eat a lot to recover; it would also be great if I can do this all without gaining fat and maintaining muscle, as I have a field trip to Cancun with my senior high school class.
Any help is immensely appreciated guys
Update: today, as soon as I woke up, I grabbed the thermometer from my night stand and got an oral reading; 96.08°F. I then got an armpit reading, just to double check: 95.72°F.
I will update later today to post my afternoon T°.

Update Got my new lab results; I fu**ed up and didn’t include FREE T3 or FREE T4, only TOTALS for both, although FREE T4 appeared on my first lab a week ago. From the little knowledge I have acquired, even with total T3 (rather than free T3) as a reference, it seems rather contundent that I have some type of hypothyroidism. Again, any opinions are immensely appreciated. And by the way, look at how my TSH is higher now than before when it was kinda high already.
TSH 3.95 uUI/ml (0.27-4.20)
Total T4 5.20 ug/dl (4.74-14.60)
Total T3 75.00 ng/dl (91-218)
Antiperoxidase Antibodies 14.18 UI/ml (0-34)
Tyroglobulinic Thyroid Antibodies 10.00 UI/ml (0-115)
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen 0.32 (non reactive: less than 1; reactive: 1 or more)
Estradiol 11.91 pg/ml (25.8-60.7)
LH 2.02 mUI/ml (1.7-8.6)
Total T 3.77 ng/ml (1.02-10.10)
Free T 8.11 pg/ml (4-30)
