Help with under active thyroid and other blood test results

Hello, I have posted elsewhere but here too for more advice. Thank you in advance!

I’m 49 with an under active thyroid diagnosed after 1st child nearly 15 years ago. Peri-menopausal, irregular periods with the last being last Oct. Mild symptoms I’d say but quite bad hip/leg pain and stiffness. Had recent blood tests which Dr says are all within normal range. Receptionist read out, on my request, over the phone. I think the cholesterol and TSH are high, although I don’t really know what’s normal for me. Haven’t kept a close eye on it as 100mcg of Thyroxine seems to suit me fine.
TSH: 4.69
T3: 3.9
T4: 17.4
Cholesterol: 6.9
Ferritin: 50.8
HbA1C: 36
I think there was Vit D and B12 as well but forgot to ask about those.
Do these results sound ok? I guess I feel ok but wouldn’t mind feeling brighter, less tired and so easily irritable with the kids! If anyone has any advice on whether I should talk to my Dr, despite him saying the results are all normal, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

TSH is high. I feel better when it's between 0.5 and 1. Not sure of the others but if you post your blood results in the thyroid section in Health Unlocked website the members there will be able to help.
