Brief Answer:
Thyroid blood works first

Detailed Answer:
Good day,

Welcome to health care magic. Noted that you have an enlarged thyroid gland with multi nodular goiter. The next step would be to do a Thyroid function test ( Free T4 and TSH). Based on this, we will have to plan further. If the TSH is high or normal, we need to do a needle test ( FNA) from the solid nodules. If the TSH is low, we need to plan for a nuclear scan and decide further.
