What kind of light are you using? I would up the basking temps from 100-110*F. Since heat rises the temps may not be warm enough for him. Which may be why he spends more time above the lights. When he eats,. what do you feed him and how much does he eat?

Tegus can go for long periods of time with out food and it doesn't affect them as long as they have enough fat reserves in the base of their tail. Depending on what you're feeding it may not need to or even be hungry enough to eat everyday. Since some foods take longer to digest than others.
