Brief Answer:
thyroid profile report seems to be entirely normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in HealthCare Magic,

I have read through your query and have viewed the attached reports.
The thyroid profile report seems to be entirely normal to me, but I would like to know if you have any associated symptoms other than delay in your periods and weight gain like swelling over your neck, intolerance to heat or cold, palpitation, sleep disorders.

If so, then I would suggest you to do a free T3 and T4 and then to consult with an endocrinologist for further assistance.

Other possible causes may be due to the intake of contraceptive pills if any. It could also be due to any recent stress exposure, pregnancy, or any conditions like high cortisol levels, PCOS.
Meanwhile, I would suggest you to
-engage more in physical activity like gym or outdoor games.
-Consuming more on ripe papaya (if found not pregnant) has been reported to increase the hormone levels thereby bringing about your periods.
- also get a urine pregnancy test done if at all any history of recent sexual intercourse.

Hope this helps
