This is osteopenia with borderline osteoporosis. The numbers are slightly improved from prior studies and though the significance of this is arguable they clearly have not worsened. Based on the provided information your current regimen is effective and medication is an option but not required. To guide you, if possible get a FRAX calculation for a 10 year risk of hip and other major fractures.
