Hi. YOu should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits combined with medicines you have mentioned. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated drinks. Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If you dont have any symptoms then this is just slight and reversible liver damage.
Wish you good health.
