Question

Hello I am a 25 year old female. I had my second child over a year ago and I noticed I was gaining more weight while feeling tired with high anxiety. What concerns me is that it has been over a year now and I drink over a gallon of water a day with a very healthy diet along with exercising three to four times a week but I have absolutely no weight loss only weight gain. My energy has diminished and it is now affecting my work. I have brittle hair that is slowly falling out along with body hair growth such as on the chin cheeks and breast. I also noticed my voice is much deeper with a slight rasp and it feels as if my throat is constantly swollen. I am not a smoker. I received blood work where only TSH and testosterone were tested. Based on my previous TSH results there seems to be an increase. Is there a reason to be concerned with my results? My TSH results are 1.740, 1.438, 2.063 and 2.856. Sex hormone binding globulin is 49 nmol per L. Testosterone is 18 ng per dL. Free testosterone is 2.4 pg per mL.
