What Does This Blood Test Result For Thyroid Level While Having Hypothyroidism Indicate?

I had some blood work done to check my Thyroid levels as I have Hypothyroidism. I have been exercising and trying REALLY hard to eat healthier!! I got my paperwork in the mail and it states this :CHOLESTEROL 182, HDL-CHOL 52, LDL-CHOL 113, TRIGLYCERIDES 86 and lastly CHOL/HDL RATIO 3.5. I have no idea if any of these are bad. In my last 43 days of exercising ( changing my lifestyle ) I have lost 14 pounds. Currently I am 5 4 1/2 & am 26 years old. Can you tell me if any of these numbers are bad?

Hello

Your lipid profile may suggest normal findings.
Lipid profile may be altered in hypothyroidism,so you are rightly advised for lipid profile.
Cholesterol level is within normal limit.Normally it should be below 200 mg % and your findings suggest 182 mg %,so it is normal.
HDL value is also normal.It is considered as good fat and it can be increased by exercise,walking etc.
LDL and triglyceride level are also normal.
In short,findings are normal and you shouldn't worry at all.

Get well soon.
Take Care
