Hello

Your ultrasound report suggests fatty liver,however size of liver is normal.
Fatty liver is due to deposition of fat within liver cells.
Fatty liver may be due to many causes like obesity,sedentary life,hepatitis,altered lipid profile,metabolic disorder etc.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME.
Try to reduce your weight if BMI is high.
Avoid beer completely.Go for brisk walk regularly and take lot of fibers in your food.
Avoid saturated fat and fried food.

Get well soon.
Take Care
