Hello XXXXXXX
Although the most important cause for high SGPT and fatty liver is alcohol but there are other reasons like obesity,use of steroids or different types of herbal medicines,high cholesterol or triglycerides,loosing weight too fast,insulin resistance,diabetes,hereditary conditions etc.
 

Depending on the true cause of having the fatty liver,
removing the cause completely will help the liver cells
heal. 
IF this is caused by weight gain or triglyerides...it
is best that he follow a diet that the doctor would give
him.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables (washed before eatting)
Remove skins from XXXXXXX or chicken before eatting
Eat lean cuts of meat Or still better to avoid it.
Go back to the basic foods...things that are not
prepackaged, have alot of perservatives and salt. 
Go back to good oils like Olive oil.
Try lowering the amount of sugar in the diet.
do regular exercises and reduce weight if high.
Take plenty of water.
Stop taking all Ayurvedic medicines.
Do it for 6 weeks and repeat your tests.Most likely you should be all right.
If however,you don't find any change consult a Gastroenterologist for the management.
 
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.

Best of luck
Thanks
