Thanks for your query.
Taking you clinical history and imaging findings in to consideration, your BMI, is 24.8 (on the higher side). Fatty liver can arise due to a number of coditions - mainly alcoholic and non-alcoholic (diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia are common conditions). Your liver enzymes are within acceptable limits though and you have no other gross abnormalities (no gallstone, normal CBD). Stage 1 fatty liver is reversible. You need a weight reduction (by a healthy regimen, crash dieting not advised as it may aggravate the condition) and reduce the fat content of your diet (mainly the saturated fat). If possible you need to avoid alcohol. I would also advise you to get your Fasting and Post prandial blood sugar checked along with your lipid profile (if deranged may need medications)
Weight reduction and fat restricted diet should be sufficient at this stage, you can get yourself retested in 6 months.
