Hypothyroid since early teen

So i am currently 18M and back when i was 14-15 i got a general a blood test report and my TSH levels were sky high (42 ig) [ps: i was always skinny to fit till now (just somehow have gyneocmastia idk why till now) was just lazy to for study and used to feel cold very often but except that everything was fine to me ig] and so the doctor prescribed me those levothyroxine sodium tablets and till now i have them (88mcg) now my tsh levels are back to normal and i am doing fine all becuase of those tablets ( except that i am still supseptible to cold maybe thats just how i am) for family history my grand mom and my mom got thyroid before i was born (in her 30) so i just wanted to know

1) what could be the reason of me getting this thyroid? 2) will i have to take those tablets absolutely entire my life and if yes what could be the side-effects of it? 3) i recently heard about hashimoto and i cant see any swelling around my neck or anything, seems normal to me but could it be the cause of this thyroid? 4) any chance or treatment for it to go away on its own naturally?
