Brief Answer:
please see details below

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir
1. Your HDL level is 43mg% which is more than the cut-off of 40mg%. It is good to have more HDL cholesterol rather than lesser values. Hence there is nothing it worry. In fact it may further go up if you increase your daily exercise or you consume fish regularly if you are a non-vegetarian.
2. The LDL levels of 155 mg% is on Higher side and need to be monitored. However as per current recommendations, this lipid profile along with other factors does not require medication. The ACC risk score and Qrisk Score for this kind of profile are very much acceptable. A life style modification is warranted. Try to devote more time to exercise with a goal of 45 minutes of brisk walk per day or equivalent exercise. Try to avoid oily and fried items. Avoid excess of sweets, cold drinks and desserts. Lipid profile should be repeated after 3 months of these modifications.
Feel free to discuss further, if there is any query.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
