Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
After going through your question, I can understand your concern.
Considering your height and weight of 130 lbs, your BMI is 24.55, though it is within normal limits, it is moving towards overweight category.
For better opinion I want to know -
- Values of Lipid profile.
- Your blood pressure reading.
- On what basis you have been labeled as pre-diabetes , ie. Blood sugar levels, HbA1c value.
- Current medicines.
Considering the history of fatty liver, it is advisable to do Liver function test.
Keep following calories and fat restricted diet and regular swimming.
Please revert back with details.
