Low Lymphocytes, low RBC?

Hi! I am a 26 years old woman.
Got some blood work done in October, the results were fairly average, but my lymphocytes were at the low end (1.5) and my RBC were also low.
This winter I was almost constantly sick, and I felt very fatigued.

Today I went and had another set of blood work done, and my lymphocytes got even lower (1,1) and my RBC is still low (4.3). Eosinophiles are also low (0.1), but Monocytes are normal.
MCH is at the high end of the spectrum (31.2) and RDW at the low end (11.8), but still nothing to worry about.

However, this coupled with the joint and bone pain I felt throughout this spring got me pretty worried.
Can this results show a malignancy? Thank you in advance.

Yes, mostly from college and fueled my my health anxiety.
Could this be the cause?

"Can this results show a malignancy?"

It's possible, but other causes are more likely - including infection. Have you been under a great deal of stress?
