Best thing to do is to make some lifestyle changes and give it some time. If your levels don't improve within a few months I would definitely be asking for TRT and/or HCG. You could benefit. Just don't jump straight to it just yet because your hypogonadism may be transient, and recovering your natural test production is comparatively better for long term health.
ps - your doctor may want to run another test or two, or he may be happy with the biochemistry to say this is age-associated primary hypogonadism... although it might be iartogenic depending on your cycle history... or both. I figured I'd mention this in case you wanted to google more info on it. Treatment is the same either way: horomone replacement.
Remember: low normal T is only a problem if you remain symptomatic. Being in the low half of the reference range when symptoms aren't present is still comparatively healthier than being on TRT. I know you have symptoms now, hopefully that changes! But if you are below reference range then TRT is indicated.
