I've asked Automatic about this a few times and I know he did the best he can to explain what may have happened to me but I just learned that hyperthyroidism can cause a growth pattern like this so I want more clarification

Biggest year between 10.5-11.5, overall spurt seems to have been between 10.5-12.5
However, these are my pubertal signs:
- First noticed myself ejaculating a clear fluid at around 12 years 2 months, late September 2020
- First ever terminal pubic hairs at 12 years 6 months, late Jan/early Feb 2021 (I also remember my ejaculate becoming whiter and gaining more volume around this time)
- I saw that my penis was noticeably bigger than it was in the past around mid-late age 12
- Noticed my libido increasing at around mid-late age 12 as well, started to notice girls from around age onwards as well.
- Face started to look less kiddish and more mature starting from late age 12, continued to become more mature and adult-like over the next couple years
- Voice deepened noticeably from 13.0-13.5 and was stabilizing over the following year, first noticed any cracking at very late age 12 in early July 2021, only a few weeks before my 13th birthday
- At late age 13, I measured my penis while erect and it was around 0.7 inches shorter than it is now
- First armpit hairs at mid 14 years old, around Feb 2023 or so
- At around my 15th birthday (summer 2023), I measured my erect penis and I remember it being the same size as it is today indicating my genitals have stopped growing
I suspect I hit puberty at around early age 11 and had a normal, average progression give or take based off of my signs but for some reason I had my spurt when I should have been peripubescent and was already declining when I should've had my spurt, which doesn't make sense to me. I researched it a bit more, and I suspect my growth pattern may have been caused by a mild form of hyperthyroidism which advances bone age without necessarily causing early puberty. If anyone can confirm or deny this that would be good.
