Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased GGT indicates liver injury.
It is important to know SGPT,SGOT,Bilirubin level.

You need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar(RBS),renal function test(RFT),lipid profile,viral markers,complete LFT,urine RE/ME.Ultrasound of abdomen should also be done.

You can take tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months more.It will help in regeneration of liver cells.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely.
Increase your physical activity in the form of exercise.

Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
