What blood work did you request from doctor to rule out medical causes?

Hi all,

F, 26, 5”3, 70kg, vegetarian

I have been gaining weight from 53kg steadily over the past year, most weight is around my stomach and I am feeling very insecure. My main concern is that the weight gain has not levelled out, this is the heaviest I have ever been and I seem to be gradually increasing.

I asked my GP about my weight gain and they did some blood work (results below)

Should I be requesting a more comprehensive blood work to rule out insulin resistance or thyroid issues? Or is the below satisfactory?

What blood work have others had done?

Edit: I do not take any medication, or hormonal birth control.

The only change over the year is that I no longer commute by bike. I work from home. However I walk my dog daily, my average daily steps is 5,500. I have climbed Snowdon this year and hike often, ride my bike. I did weightlifting twice a week for a couple months with a club. I’ve ran a handful of 10ks this year and I’m hoping to run a half marathon next year.
