Hi thanks for your question.

Here you have mainly elevated ALT ...

Here don't worry too much.

I will advise you to do your USG abdomen , serum cholesterol, and serum viral marker.

USG might reveal fatty liver like condition that can elevate enzymes.

Viral marker for rule out viral hepatitis.

Do you drinking alcohol ?? If yes then it can elevate liver enzymes by its toxic affect to liver hepatocytes.

Are you taking regular any drugs? If yes then drugs can damage liver in long term cause.

Do you have heart problem or any muscle trauma or myositis? If yes then it can elevate liver enzymes.

I hope your concerned is solved.

Take care.
