Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.
1. Your thyroid function tests are normal now. You can continue with same dose of thyroid medications
2. Vitamin D levels are on the lower side but ok. Need to continue replacements
3. Cholesterol is high. Better to start on medications
Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.
Regards,
