Tests seem at odds.

TSH that is high, yet the Free T3 is towards the very upper end.  The Free T4 has an odd range and I wonder if the test was for total T4 and not Free T4.

Free T3 was at 70% of range

Free T4 was at only 31% of the range.

So what symptoms are you having is key.

Your doctor will prescribe replacement thyroid hormones for you.  

Do you have other hypo symptoms?  Unexplained weight gain, fatigue and/or sleepiness, constipation, depression, lowered HR and/or BP, etc.
