Little bit of background, Im 21 years old. About 3 years ago I became completely unintrested in sex and relationships and women in general. My libido completely vanished and I could not for the life of me become aroused and horny.
(i.e. that huge noticable surge/flucuation of sexual hormones when seeing an attractive female, or when a female is flirting with you and being sexually suggestive)
Since then ive pretty much felt like an old man, not intrested in sex at all and would rather do something else, when out partying and enjoying myself and attractive girls show intrest, put themselfs on a plate I feel completely 'baseline' like its a chore, I have to 'push myself' to interact with them and when it ever comes down to sex etc they will become extremely aroused and I will feel nada, ill end up yawning, loosing intrest within 5 minutes of foreplay and go find something else to do. Recently with more steady partners its been causing real issues and its really effecting quality of life, Im 21 and want to start getting into relationships, and its really not fair me pretending to be intrested in partners just to keep them happy, I wish I could experience that crazy aroused state that I used to when a teen.
During day to day life ive also started to become unmotivated, with no intrest in setting goals, moving forward in life, I pretty much exist at 'baseline' and no more, im not depressed as my mood is fine.
Most recently ive started to experience night sweats, really cold soaking wet episodes, and also my memory has been really bad, putting down a set of keys then five minutes later searching the whole house for 20-30 minutes for them, only to find them in a simple place, also ive been finding it very difficult at work writing up the most basic of reports which has been causing issues.
I went to the doctors about 14 months ago (September 2011) and explained all of this, she ordered a blood test, it came back as 12.5nmol. she told me this was normal for a 21 year old male and my problems were mental.
I went away and decided to change my diet to contain a more balaced range of macros (carbs,fats,protien), eating fish, lean meats salad & veg along with healthy fats, I started doing cardio x5 a week and lifting weights x3 a week. I lost about 48lbs in weight (220lbs 30%bf to 170lbs 22% bf) from september 2011 - april 2012. I was still feeling terrible and although I had lost lots of weight I had zero muscle mass under what I had lost and at 170lbs held an extremely abnormal & disproportionate level of bodyfat. I then continued the lifting and cardio and struggled hugely. Between April 2012- August 2012 I went on a very consistant and strict working regime and mealplan with cardio and in the 16 weeks I made zero gains and failed to loose any of the extremely flabby fat stores I held. No matter how hard i tried I could not lift weights.
my current body comp; 175lbs, 6ft, 20% bf+?

In October 2012 I went back to the doctors, only this time to see a different person and explained everything to him, explained I had made all of these changes and there had been zero difference, he listened to me and took more bloods, then came back at 13.5nmol He decided to send me to see an endocrine specialist.
I visited the Endo at the start of january 2013, He looked at my body and noticed high levels of fat, and also stated he could feel non fatty tissue growth in chest he took bloods and the below results came back ;
He says he is confused that FSH/LH are a good range yet T levels are 'low end of normal' and estrogen is 'slightly high'
Is anyone willing to give theories and thoughts to my most recent bloods and outlook on my story/history ? What can be done to sort out my issues ?
Thank you.
