i saw in report its mentioned fatty liver. in both scan taken in 6 months gap.
Brief Answer:
Fatty liver is a minor problem.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Welcome back.
Fatty Liver is not a major problem. It is either due to high blood cholesterol, diabetes, Physical inactivity or alcohol intake.
If you are having habit of consuming alcohol then stop it .
Get tested for Diabetes and Lipid profile test done and if your cholesterol is elevated then I shall advise some medications for that.
Start doing aerobic exercises like Brisk walking , jogging , running or cycling at least 20 minutes a day.
Hope this information was useful to you.

Brief Answer:
Don't worry.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Fatty liver is not a major problem , don't worry.
Your Routine is fine but I would advise you do Brisk ( fast ) walking instead of walking and do it everyday instead of 5 days a week .
Apart from reduced intake of Oily foods avoid sweets also .
Repeat Ultrasound Abdomen scan to know what is the current status of your liver.
I recommend you get a Lipid profile tested and also TSH (if not done in last 4 months ) and if your cholesterol is elevated we need to start medications for that .
Your fatty liver is not due to your childhood jaundice . It is a disease of lifestyle, so change your lifestyle ( I mean diet and exercise )

If none kindly close the discussion and rate my answer.
