Well, first of all you are undermedicated. What has your GP said about these results? Most patients diagnosed and treated for hypothyroid conditions don't feel well until their TSH is 1.0 or slightly lower.
What about vitamin levels, have you had those tested and have you got thyroid antibodies?
TPO antibody >1300 (<34)
TG antibody 566.3 (<115)
very definitely hashimoto's
You are very under medicated. The aim of Levothyroxine is to give high enough dose to bring TSH down to around one, FT4 towards top of range, around 20.
Ask for immediate 25mcgs dose increase. Retesting after 6 weeks. All thyroid tests should be as early as possible in morning, fasting and don't take Levo in 24 hours beforehand, delay and take straight after. this gives highest TSH and most consistent results
Always take Levo on empty stomach and then nothing apart from water for at least an hour after. Some take on waking, others prefer bedtime

Hashimoto's affects gut, leading to low stomach acid, malabsorption and very often gluten intolerance

Highly likely you also have very low vitamins - if not been tested ask for Vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 to be tested. Always get actual results and ranges
Breathlessness is often low ferritin/low iron
Do you already have injections for Pernicious Anaemia?
Are they regular enough to improve levels, do you also supplement folate and/or vitamin B complex

Great series - currently free to watch
I have injections every 3 months for pernicious anaemia, results are
Ferritin 14 (15 - 150)
Folate 2.3 (4.6 - 18.7)
Vitamin B12 158 (180 - 900)
Vitamin D 23.8 (<25 severe)
No B complex thanks
all absolutely dire, no wonder your thyroid hormones are doing little or nothing
Find a new GP if the current one thinks these are adequate.
How long has GP had these results, to not have called you into for appointment immediately is negligent
They are ALL below range

Thanks GP had these results since start of October this year
Absolutely disgraceful. See a different GP
