Have you had vitamin D checked ?
This is a very important hormone to help with testosterone production

I am impressed that at 19 you took the time to get blood work done and started noticing things may not be what they should be. Most 19 years olds would not think on this level about their own health. I might suggest that you learn as much as you can about each hormone and how they effect the others and see a doctor to find out why you are not where you want to be. Ask questions. I do agree you are very low in some areas that is not typical at your age. Maybe there is a reason why this is happening and a good doctor can surely help.

To add to what @Gladiator said, I teach a college nutrition class and have all the students do a 3 day diet recal and the analyze the nutrients they consume. Without fail, most are extreamly deficient in vitamins and minerals. Vitamin D3 is almost non existant. This in time contributes to poor health.

thats a good idea, im gonna start tracking all my macros, do you think vitamin D supplements are a good?

I always teach my students to try to get as much of your nutrients as you can from food. Supplements are what they are, to supplemennt a good diet. However, if you are not getting enough of a particular nutrient, it is better to supplement than to be deficient. That being said, I take a D3 supplement every day mostly because I am a very picky eater and have been all my life.

Here is the nutritional analysis site my students use, it free! They also have a phone app the is free for Android but not Apple

You probably need an MRI to check for pituitary tumors for the high prolactin unless antidepressants or low thyroid function are to blame.

The SHBG value is nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm also assuming you went completely through puberty. I know men that finished growing past the age of 21. Hopefully you're not one of them.

Its probably a good idea that you see a doctor and show them your blood work. Then come back here and let us lal know what your doctor says is going on.
