Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for your query.
Normally if you are following a healthy life style including regular walk, optimal weight and low fat/ sugars diet, the cholesterol should not rise so much. Either the lab readings are not reliable and need a confirmation from a standard lab or there may be other causes. These include development of diabetes, low thyroid hormone level or kidney disease. However before looking into other causes do reconfirm from a standard laboratory.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
