New Here, can you help me interpret my latest lab values

Hi I am new to this forum but unfortunately not new to hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed 20 years ago and have been on various amounts of levothyroxine with just horrible results. I was always cold, tired, constipated and couldn’t lose weight. I finally found Thyrogold in the last few months and immediately felt amazing on it, after trying to raise it from 150mg to 300mg I began to have a higher than normal resting heart rate and some palpitations and weight gain without changes in eating. I was fearful so I broke down and let my primary care Dr know I had switched over. He was surprisingly open and glad I was feeling better but wanted to see some test results. I got the results over the weekend, he seemed ok with them but I’m not ok with weight gain. I was hoping that someone on here could take a look at them and let me know if they see a glaring problem. I also take 1500 mg of Metformin for insulin resistance. I personally think my Ferritin is low but my doctor didn’t mention it. Here are my test results:

Free T3 3.09 (1.71-3.71)

FreeT4 1.32 (.7-1.48)

TSH-.006 (.35-4.940)

Ferritin 31.73 (5-204)

Iron 119 (25-156)

TIBC 378 ( 250-450)

Thank you for any insight
