Recommendation: Not knowing how you feel or your current symptoms, from the labs above, you are mildly hyperthyroid. Currently you are taking approximately 78 mcg/day of levothyroxine (550 mcg/7 days). A reasonable change would be to just take 75 mcg/day. This way, you don't have to take two different doses or cut the pills. This is again based solely on labs. Your doc who knows you best should evaluate you.
