General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello
I share your concern
Your reports are suggestive of hypertriglyceridemia( high triglycerides level) which a common problem at your age

I see patients with similar problem in my clinic, at the outset I would advise them for certain life style modifications like dietary restrictions and regular exercises

Avoid fatty fried and junk food
You should take plenty of fresh fruits and steamed vegetables
Have lots of dietary fiber which helps by absorbing the bad cholesterol
Exercise regularly like walking, jogging and swimming

I would advise you to repeat these tests after 6 months with strictly following these guidelines
if it persists elevated, than you may require drugs to reduce it

Hope this answers your question
wish you good health
Regards
I find this answer helpful
