Hello
Increased triglyceride level may be due to many reasons like obesity,alcoholism,hypothyroidism,renal problems etc.
You need further investigations like complete liver function test,lipid profile,RBS,ultrasound of abdomen.
In such conditions,I suggest tablet fenofibrate 160 mg at night after dinner.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.Avoid alcohol if you take it.
You should avoid fried and junk food.
You should do exercise and go for walking.
