TPH and cholesterol linked to vitamin d deficiency?

(The images above are my vitamin d levels ng/mL, thyroid stimulating hormone, and cholesterol for reference. I am female, 20yrs old, 4’10 and 103 pounds.)

I’ve had low vitamin d for about 2.5 years. I was treating it with prescribed Vitamin D2 50,000iu for 5 months, lost healthcare coverage, and just recently got both healthcare and the prescription back. I have not yet taken my new prescription. Upon getting blood drawn, I’ve developed new high cholesterol and TSH levels.

Nothing within my diet has ever changed, i eat Whole Foods, I’ll occasionally get fast food or a packaged snack but not often. I am not sedentary but do minimal exercise (walking and yoga 2-5x a week).

I’m curious if anyone else with vitamin D deficiency has experienced these abnormal lab results after being deficient for a long period of time. These seem related to me, but I’m not well educated and am having trouble understanding medical journals online. If you have, what have you done alongside taking prescription vitamin d to support both your vitamin d and other abnormal levels? Thank you for reading!
