You were undermedicated on 100/125 thyroxine to have TSH 7.70. You haven't given any ref ranges (the figures in brackets after your results) which means it is difficult to interpret results accurately but I think TPO antibodies are negative although I'm not sure about the thyroglobulin antibodies.

TSH 4.28 is still too high indicating undermedication. Most people are comfortable with TSH just above or below 1.0, although it is often lower when on NDT because of the T3 in NDT. Free T3 looks mid range as far as I can tell so you are unlikely to overmedicate by increasing dose. I would increase by half a grain now and again in two weeks then hold the 2.5 grain dose for 4 weeks and retest.
