HI,
these serum thyroid hormone levels are within normal limits. But considering the fact you have a thyroid disorder before, its worth running these tests on regular basis so that any anomalies should be detected and managed on time. Reporting any symptoms of hyperthyroidism, like heat intolerance, palpitations, weight loss, increased eating surge should cause you to consult your doctor.
Hope this helps, and best regards.
