Updated Blood Work - please advise

It has been 9 months since my last post. I'll re-post the most relevant information from the previous thread and update it below.

UPDATED BLOODWORK

I took the advice on which tests to run from the previous thread. Which included an LH, FSH, LT, Thyroid Panel, Vitamin D, Calcium, and testosterone again. The previous thread shows the reasons why. My last bloodwork 9 months ago showed Low T levels. My vitamin D has gone up since I've been taking Vitamin D but alot of stuff was still flagged and the T is still low.

Ever since the last thread

Age = 23
Sex = Male
Height = 6 feet 1 inch
Weight = 214 lbs
Race = White (Armenian)
Duration of complaint = Years
Location = Los Angeles, CA
Any existing relevant medical issues (if any) = Diagnosed ADHD, also have been hospitalized for
myocarditis/inflammation in the heart and lung tissue but imaging indicates a healthy heart. Was caused by smoking 
electronic cigarettes at a high nicotine level for a long period while being a non-smoker.
Current medications (if any) = Adderall XR 30 mg 4 times a week (I had stopped for 7 months but restarted it since I got back to the US in late-November 3 months ago)
Upon request I can provide any necessary blood work from the last couple of years.

It's important to note that I've always had a low sex drive, low energy, sleep issues, and I'm constantly living in a fog with many simultaneous, racing thoughts of which I am not able to control my focus on which thought I would like to at any given time. My perception is rarely vivid and I struggle with successfully exercising my awareness.

My mother's side has a history of heart issues, my mother was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a few years back and anemia recently (iron deficiency). My father's side has a history of diabetes and prostate and other cancers. Also they've been known to have low HDL cholesterol levels. My grandfather was a super fit championship boxer for his country. My father is obese at 350 lbs same height as me and is a Type 2 Diabetic, he also has hemorrhoids and an iron deficiency.

Some more background on me, one year ago I was a little depressed and despondent and gained weight (185 lbs to 237 lbs) and 9.5 months ago I started to hit the gym and now I am currently at 198lbs [Taken from previous thread, I regained some weight during my travels in the last few months. The statement is 9 months old and I went from 202 - 214 over the last few months.]

Vitamin D3 = 5000 UI a day [Nutrigold]
Creatine Monohydrate = 5 g a day [Bulk Supplements]
Spirulina = 3-4 g [Nutrex Hawaii Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica]
Krill Oil - 500 mg a day?
L-theanine 200 mg with Caffeine 200mg before a workout
