SGOT is nonspecific and it may be increased in other diseases also.
Serum creatinine is towards upper range and uric acid is also raised.
You also need few more investigations like routine hemogram,RBS(Random blood sugar),Ultrasound of abdomen.Further investigations can be done if needed.
You also need life style modification and diet changes.
You should reduce your weight also if you are overweight.
You should avoid high fat milk products.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
