Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your hepatomegaly is due to fatty liver.
It is not a serious condition.
Continue taking metformin.
You are obese and this also contributes to the fatty liver.
So you need to take steps to reduce your weight. This includes dietary changes, exercise and medications. You can discuss with your doctor about these.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
