Hello

Your findings suggests raised ALT.AST and ALP is within normal limit.
Increased ALT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,obesity,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,auto immune causes etc.

You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

You may need few more medicines after full investigations.

Take Care
