Brief Answer:
You have nutritional deficiency anemia.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have low hemoglobin, low hematocrit, low MCHC, high RDW, low iron. These all are commonly seen in iron deficiency anemia. More over you also have some folic acid deficiency.

Your sodium and chloride are slightly low. Don't worry about that.

You should take iron rich food like dates, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits, jaggery etc. If needed you can take iron supplements like ferrous sulphate or ferrous fumarate.

If you have any symptoms or other questions then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.

Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
