Help with making sense of blood test results

Hello, I also posted this in General Health but thought it might get more views here. 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.
