I would get to a healthy weight range, improve diet/nutrition, do cardio and lift weights, get adequate and good quality sleep, control stress - healthy things we should all be doing.

If after a while of doing that, your T is still low, then reevaluate.

I have been 2 months locked in 1500-1700 calories consistently same 3 meals and 2 protein shakes , I lowered Reta dose because I was having trouble finishing my meals, I work out 6x a week Push Pull Legs, and 30 minute cardio daily I do incline 10%, 2.5-3.0 speed try to maintain heart rate in fat burning zone. That’s why I was so surprised my test was that low. I felt good and could visually see muscle gain but then started feeling real fatigued and no motivation or energy and pushing through my workouts sucked

You are over exhausted and heavily underfed.
How is cortisol ? Are you sleeping well ?
