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

A simple fatty liver is a harmless condition and is reversible if the risk factors are eliminated. There is no need to worry as long as the liver function test is within normal limits.

The risk factors you have are alcohol intake and obesity. You need to quit drinking alcohol and also need to reduce weight.
Also check your blood glucose and lipid profile as high blood glucose and high cholesterol are other common causes of fatty liver.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
