Is the TSH 1.35 or 135? A couple of weeks ago you said it was 1.35 with FT4 11.84.
B12 430 is sub optimal. 1,000 is optimal according to PA Society. Supplement 1,000mcg methylcobalamin and take a B Complex vitamin. Folate over range is fine as long as B12 isn't deficient.
High transferrin saturation can indicate iron overload which may be why ferritin is high. High ferritin can aso be an indication of inflammation or infection in the body.

oops sorry its 1.35.. could iron overload be because i have been on suplements of iron for a year which i stopped 3 weeks ago. what about my low t3 t4 results.
Yes, over supplementing may be why transferrin and ferritin are high.
TSH is low normal and FT4 is below range. I've said before your GP ought to consider secondary hypothyroidism and prescribe Levothyroxine to raise FT4 at least half way through range.
