Most likely: Your need for replacement decreased, which can happen over time, particularly if you lose weight. Need to change dose is more common if you are receiving generic replacement which is less reliable and can vary from company to company and batch to batch. You can also have a nodule begin to over secrete hormone or transient increase in levels with thyroid inflammation. Check w/your doctor.
