These confirm autoimmune thyroid disease aka Hashimoto's which is where antibodies attack and gradually destroy the thyroid. You can help reduce the antibodies by adopting a strict gluten free diet. Gluten contains gliadin which is a protein thought to trigger antibody attacks. Supplementing with selenium l-selenomethionine 200mcg daily and keeping TSH suppressed can also help reduce antibodies.

++TSH 6.2 (0.2 - 4.2)
++Free T4 10.4 (12 - 22)
Free T3 4.0 (3.1 - 6.8)
These confirm that you are currently undermedicated.
Your previous results
TSH <0.02 (0.2 - 4.2)
Free T4 37.6 (12 - 22)
Free T3 10.5 (3.1 - 6.8)
show that you were having a temporary Hashi's flare as Greygoose explained in your previous post healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
You need your Levo increased to bring your TSH back down to around 1 and your Free Ts back up to the upper part of their ranges.
