Hi!
I read carefully your test report's.
The normal range for TSH is 0.4-4 micro IU/mL.Your TSH level is over the normal range and this suggest that you may have hypothyroidism.
For this I suggest you to consult a endocrinologist and he will perform other tests such as thyroid ultrasonography, measurement of some specific antibodies in your blood to find the right cause of why your thyroid isn't functioning so well. He will give you the right treatment in the right dose.
The other findings in your blood count and your lipid profile are due to hypothyroidism because in this condition the reduction of thyroid hormone production effects the metabolism slowing it down and this is the reason you may have alteration in these blood tests.
This findings will came in normal range as soon you take the right treatment for your hypothyroidism.
Hope I was able to help you.
Take care.
