Hello,
Your Direct bilirubin level is well with in normal limits.
But your lipid profile values are very much deranged.
Your serum Triglyceride level is high and also your total cholesterol level is also high than normal value.
Your HDL cholesterol is not at desirable level.
Thus you have increased risk of coronary artery diseases.
Please avoid oily and fat rich foods.
Plan and eat the required calories accordingly.
Do not take fast foods and deep fried foods.
Please take plenty of vegetables and fruits as much as possible.
Fish is High in omega 3 fatty acids, it helps increase the levels of the good (or HDL) cholesterol.
Also avoid processed foods like biscuits, cookies, cakes and fried stuff. Avoid red meat and egg yolk.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
