It would help if you gave the lab's reference ranges, but I can tell you that your TT is not low. It's not bad at all for someone your age. Your FT is on the low side. Did you have SHBG or anything else tested?
Yes they're low, you now have 21 days to get on trt or your balls will forever be small
total test is very low. Equals a 80 year old guy...u should have been around 20
