I have gone through your query.Your triglycerides level is very high LDL level is also high and HDL is low.It is Dyslipidemia.You need drug therapy diet and execise.For such cases i recommend fenofibrate and atorvastatin combination start with low dose.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
