The TSH should be repeated 5-6 weeks after initial, if still high then levothyroxine may be considered especially with the high cholesterol, however the cholesterol is not likely entirely due to hypothyroidism. Gynecomastia is not typically seen with this mild of a thyroid abnormality - this may need further evaluation (ie, testosterone level, review of current medications, etc).
