Hello
Your findings suggests mildly enlarged liver with fatty changes in liver.
Fatty liver is a reversible condition.Obesity and sedentary life style are its common causes.
Other causes of hepatomegaly with fatty changes are hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
I suggest routine hemogram,random blood sugar,urine RE/ME,renal function test and liver function test.
You may need to take few medicines after evaluation.
You may need to change your diet and life style.You should go for brisk walk regularly.
Get well soon.
Take Care
