Do eval your overall thyroid function via last paragraph in this post.
Thyroid labs might be suggesting that you need more iodine. Using iodized salt? Iodine+selenium in your vitamins?
Thyroid has a big influence on energy levels, mood, libido and fat gain/loss/patterns.
FSH is typically similar to LH. But FSH is often a better indicator of LH status than LH itself which is released in pulses with a short half-life. So LH is variable. But notably lower than FSH. Were your testes physically examined? Are they sore or achy? Feel normal?
FT is also pulsatile with a short half-life. So any given lab does not have a absolute meaning. Your low total estrogens suggest that T–>E2 rate is low from low FT and that liver clearance of estrogens is good.
If you cannot find a correctable cause of your low-T, you need TRT. That is way more than T. Not sure if your problem is primary [weak testes] or secondary [low LH]. Your low T needs to be considered a symptom at this point, not the disease.
If as a trial you self-injected 250iu hCG SC EOD for a month and did labs with strong TT and FT, you are secondary. If T levels are not good, you are primary. We do see some mixed cases often.

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.
