I think its a reasonable speed

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I think your cholesterol is lowering at a reasonable speed and it should be down to normal in few more months.
Intake of calorie rich foods like sweets can also be reduced.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
