Suggest Treatment For High Triglyceride Levels

My blood tests has come back and shows high triglycerides of 4.73 mmol/L. I am very active and do not have many fats in my diet besides lunch (a tablespoon of mayonnaise on multi-grain or rye bread with unprocessed meat and a few slices of cheese daily; and a few drinks a month). I have been taking proscar for just over a year and have been using coconut butter to treat dry skin(3 months). Reading online and found that Proscar can cause an increase in triglycerides in some individuals and that eating coconut oil can increase triglycerides. Should I be cutting these out?
