Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, Welcome to HCM, with your raised liver enzymes, and being overweight, it is likely you are heading for a condition called metabolic syndrome which comprises of obesity especially abdominal, disturbed lipids, fatty liver, hypertension, Diabetes. It is great you are losing weight since it will prevent all these complications from happening. Yes the antibiotics could also be responsible for the disturbed liver functions.
I will advise the following--
Take a liver protective like Silymarin and Udihep.
Get a sonography of abdomen to check whether you have accumulated fat in the liver.
I have no experience with milk thistle.
