Hi,
Your TSH has improved nicely from 8 to 5.44 on the low dose Thyronorm, and lipids are trending better with lifestyle changes.
Continue the same dose and healthy habits. Repeat thyroid tests in 8 weeks to see if we need any adjustment.
Feel free to consult for further guidance.

Based on your height and weight ,BMI: ~27.3 kg/m² (overweight)
TSH-8 (elevated) suggestive of Subclinical hypothyroidism
LDL raised but with treatment (Thyronorm/fibator) excellent improvement in lipid profile. The marked drop in triglycerides and rise in HDL suggest that:
Fibator is working.Thyronorm need 6weeks after which you can see with TFT
Lifestyle changes are helping.
Correction of thyroid dysfunction may also be contributing.
