Fat and impotent (bloodwork advice)

[Obs]

Damn your cortisol is high! Is that a typo?
What is your estimated bodyfat %?

My bad, haha. It's definitely a typo! the range is 35-155 so it's actually pretty good. My bodyfat is about 31-32%. I was recently at 2,100 calories and now I'm at 1,900 on a high frequency full body program. It's volume equated so the volume isn't crazy or anything but still somewhat high. I'm also taking the Bayesian Bodybuilding PT course starting September 1st and I'm hoping that will give me more insight into what's going on in my body because there is a huge section in the course about fat loss.
Some people say to increase the calories but I think "metabolic damage" is total bullshit. Plus, I've tried that and it didn't work. Everyone else eats less and loses weight so it seems pretty obvious that something is wrong. Hopefully they will find something at my next doctor visit in a week.

No, at mcg/dl the range is 4.0-22 or 23.
If your blood has 85.4 mcg/dl
You have the cortisol level of someone being tortured.

That would be almost diagnostic for cushing disease.

My AM cortisol is 18.2
Reference range 4.0-22.0 MCG/DL

My bad. The part with the cortisol on the report was in a weird place and I was looking at the wrong result. This one is finally correct. As far as my estrogen goes, I asked to have it tested a few years ago through a urologist because they don't generally do it. It came out normal but I don't have the results in front of me because they did it through some other lab. I can't check it on the Quest lab reports. I'm going to request it again.
I was reading this:

It's a pretty interesting look into various hormones and bodyfat distribution. The part about estrogen and progesterone cross-talk is particularly interesting. I have somewhat even bodyfat distribution. It doesn't seem particularly localized and I don't have a massive gut(relatively). Quite a bit of fat in my quads and glutes. I've never had bitch tits even though I'm pretty fat. I've always had a hard time gaining muscle too but I figured that is somewhat genetic. It's a complete fucking conundrum anyway because if I increase my calories at all, my body becomes a complete mess.

I'm going to post the non-hormone results when I get home. I know that my vitamin D was low on one of them but I've since corrected it.
