HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Apart from Alcohol intake and less physical activities ( which is not in your case ) the other causes of Fatty liver is Diabetes, High Blood cholesterol .

So the treatment of Fatty liver is treating the cause . Hence I would recommend you to get testes for Diabetes and Cholesterol and revert back with reports.

Also ask your doctor for a prescription of Ursodeoxycholic acid and start using it.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.

Hello

Welcome to HCM

According to history provided

Non alcoholic fatty liver is most commonly caused by metabolic disorders which includes diabetes,hypertriglyceridemia,starvation diet,some drugs like amiodaron,tamoxifen.

Your Body mass index comes in category of overweight.

You should try to lose your weight and I usually reccomend investigation like lipid profile,liver function test,fasting and post meal sugar level with HbA1c status.

My suggestion is
1.Avoid fatty food like cheese,butter,milk products

2.Eat high fibre diet

3.Do regular exercise with diet modification

4.Life style modifications

Please follow up with your physician to rule out other causes of non alcoholic fatty liver and with your investigations report.

Hopefully I cleared your doubts

Eat healthy,stay healthy
