Where are you located?
TSH should be close[r] to 1.0
Thyroid lab ranges are very useless.
Your problem could be from an iodine deficiency caused by not using iodized salt. Please evaluate overall thyroid function via oral body temperatures - see below. This is very important.
With such thyroid problems you can have weight/fat gain and low energy, mood/depression/libido problems, even if T levels were good.
TT is middle of range. Elevated SHBG is creating a lot of SHBT+T that lowers FT and inflates TT so that TT overstates your T status just as Bio-T confirms.
High E2 is causing liver to product higher levels of SHBG.
High E2 is suppressing LH/FSH. FSH=2.7 is probably more indicative of your LH status.
FT is low and then FT–>E2 is not high. E2=36 may be showing impaired E2 liver clearance. Some medications etc can contribute to that as well a a liver pathology might as well.
So we need more info.
Also post any other lab work + ranges.
Post your oral body temps [both times of day] and discuss your history of using iodized salt.

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.
