With two numbers on the low side, they might consider hypothyroidism, due
to pituitary failure.  You might try searching on "secondary
hypothyroidism".  One of the things you might find in your search though is
pituitary tumor/adenoma as a primary cause of this type of hormone
deficiency.  These are mostly benign and are diagnosed by MRI.  Your labs
don't necessarily indicate this but low TSH can be caused by pituitary
failure.  It can also be caused by too much thyroid hormone suppressing the
pituitary but that would not explain the low testosterone.

I do agree with the first poster that endocrinologists are often very
focused on lab numbers an less attuned to patient symptoms but try to
familiarize yourself with symptoms of hypothyroidism and low testoterone so
you can make a case for yourself beyond just lab numbers.
