Hi,
As you can see your TSH is optimal, so are your FT3/4.
However, you are deficient for vitamin D and you cholesterol is a bit high.

What symptoms do you have ?

No energy, hard to loose weight, joint and muscle pain, depression, anxiety, hair loss, heavier periods the list goes on.

Your symptoms sound thyroid related despite the normal blood tests .
I would say that you need to get thyroid antibodies tested, those are antiTPOab and TGab.
If either is positive then you have hashimoto's disease, but they can be present without hashi as well.
Neck and thyroid ultrasound is in order also, to see if you have nodules on your thyroid gland.
You can also repeat TSH every six weeks to three months , since abnormality in labs can appear a while after symptoms.

Best,

Who should I have do these my primary or a endo??

An Endo is better .

Hmmm. Everyone's experience is different. However, I had NO luck with an endo. I knew more about numbers and testing than he did. He only wanted to test my TSH, and knew nothing about the MTHFR gene mutation. I think, personally, your TSH is still too high. Optimal would be below 1.5. My doc told me he would like mine about 1. Optimal free T3 would be 3.7 and higher, free T4 at 1.3 or higher. Your vit D seems low. I agree that you should get your antibodies checked, as well as your iron. I would highly recommend the website: stopthethyroidmadness.com for a lot of valuable information. There you can find what should be tested, what numbers should be, etc. For instance: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/ and http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/lab-values/
