Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
Fatty liver as such is not a serious issue, it wont cause you any harm but it suggests that your Body has more cholesterol level. Just relax and kindly not panic. If you are on medications just take them as directed by your Doctor and go for regular follow up. You may want to eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and green leafy veggies. Exercise regularly and go for regular brisk walks for an hour daily. This will burn your calories and body fat. Avoid junk and high calorie foods. Try reducing your weight. Check your Lipid profile. If it is higher, you will need medications.
Wish you Good Health.
