You are taking 500mg T per week and the only thing that differentiates you from the body building and steroid forums is that you are doing lab work.
Your lab company’s ranges are becoming useless. Change who does your labs or stop testing things that are >range. You also need a lab that resolves lower E2 levels and does not <range
You have not tested E2 on your 500mg protocol. So much for staying on top of the situation.
Body fat is also greatly influenced by thyroid function. See last paragraph in this post to eval.

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.
You need to be testing AST/ALT to see that liver is OK with all of this.
Before starting TRT: Did you test LH/FSH and prolactin to try to find the cause of low-T?
"Anasterzol: 1/4mg Sat and as needed "
That drug needs to be dosed at least twice a week and consistently. Making short term changes based on how you feel is wrong. With your current injections twice a week, you should dose anastrozole at time of injections.
“Anastrozole”!
Labcore or Labcorp?
When you were injecting 250mg once a week, your levels were crashing. Were those lab results after 7 days? It is really impossible to manage E2 levels properly when injecting once a week.
