Hi, get an abdominal sonography done to see whether there is liver enlargement, or fat accumulation in it.
If there is, it will need treatment with bile salts/Silymarin.
Exercise, and a low fat diet, should also help--regards

Hello .
Thanks for posting at HCM.
All your lab investigations are normal. Ggtp is on he higher side , but an isolated raise in GGTP is not of much concern. Total cholesterol is little on the higher side so I would recommend diet modifications to restrict oily food, butter and cheese.
Wishing you good health
