Well you definitly have low T. I would say secondary hypogonadism but I'm not a doctor.

You seem to be secondary because your T is very low and LH should be high when T is low but it's not. Your vit D is somewhat low. I take Vit D3 5000 iu cap from Pure Encapsulations. You may have to order over the net if you want to try them. The ones in the store are usually lower strength. I take 4 caps (20,000 iu) once a week with a meal. You need to check vit D though because it can be bad to get it too high. 50 ng/ml is ideal. I would try this but I would be surprised if it is the cure for you......but you never know, it might be.

The other numbers all looked fairly good to me......I'm not a doctor either though.
