Low iron levels: Your lab results fit the picture of iron deficiency, probably getting low enough to cause anemia in the near future.
There are a ton of potential causes of this (diet, poor iron absorption, blood loss, and more), so it would be best to discuss these results with your primary healthcare provider.
