Your report shows that the values of MCV and MCH are reduced. This happens either in iron deficiency or Thalassaemia minor.
Please get iron studies done as a first step.
serum iron
ferritin
TIBC
I would order Hb electrophoresis too in addition to iron studies above.
You can however wait for the result of iron tests before getting Hb electrophoresis.
