We always need ranges with lab results, not standardized.
T dose may have been 200mg/week. Do not post doses in volumes as mg/ml can be different.
Pre-TRT: Your FT was very low and SHBG was high, creating a lot of SHBG+T [not bioavailable] which inflated TT and TT was overstating your T status.
More info about you might explain why SHBG was high. But not from been overweight.
Should have had LH/FSH prior to TRT. On TRT those both -->zero and a waste of blood and money. So we know nothing about why T was low so can’t look at how to fix it.
You will need to test prolactin. Avoid orgasms and cuddling babies, puppies etc for a few days prior as that can cause prolactin release and we need your background levels.
When you do PCT - HPTA restart, getting back to where you had been pre-TRT is not a great outcome at all.
Stickies below will help. The first two will make the HPTA restart sticky more understandable. You have a lot of reading to do.

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.
