hello and welcome to HCM
from your height and weight your BMI comes out to be 20 that is normal. i would like to know if you have any previous medical, surgical or drug history? also please tell me if you have family history of any disease. and if the levels that you mentioned were fasting levels or not. you should get your cholesterol levels within normal range as hypercholesterolemia is associated with many diseases as a risk factor. first thing you should do is to avoid fat rich diet and start exercise.(you can walk to work or park your car at a distance and walk to work from there)
