Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Of the two medications you have mentioned Heptral is better for fatty liver. You also need to stop drinking alcohol (if you have this habit).
Obesity is also a risk factor for fatty liver. As per your BMI you are obese and that might be contributing to fatty liver.
Dietary changes and exercise should be the options to reduce weight.
As far as the medication to reduce weight is concerned, you can discuss with your gastroenterologist about taking Orlistat.

I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
