Iron deficiency: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the information you provided is consistent with iron deficiency anemia.

Anemia: The results are not totally diagnostic of iron deficiency anemia as the transferrin level is not elevated. I like to see an elevated iron binding capacity to unequivocally diagnose iron deficiency anemia. Anemia of chronic disease is a possibility here. Nevertheless a search for blood loss is still advisable. A hematologist would be helpful in this case.

Iron deficiency: It is iron deficiency anemia. Either you are absorbing less iron (poor iron intake, malabsorption, celiac disease etc) or you are losing blood (Peptic ulcer disease, GERD, hemorrhoidal bleeding etc).
