Hi, Welcome to HCM.
Based on the information you have given, looks like you may have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Most patients with NAFLD are asymptomatic, however, abnormal liver function test (like in your case) and hyperlipidemia (particularly triglycerides) are common. I also see that your body mass index is about 37 (normal: 19 to 25). Obesity is directly linked to NAFLD and in this regard I will advise you to gradually reduce weight by adopting lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. In contrast, rapid weight loss may worsen your condition. Liver ultrasound will help establish the diagnosis but liver biopsy is confirmatory. I will advise that you to consult your physician and have your condition examined. In addition I will advise taking insulin sensitizing drugs such as metformin and lipid lowering drugs such as statins. Again, I will encourage you to see your doctor for the same.
Hope this helps.

hi Asadi,
you have hypertriglyceridemia which can be due to obesity, or your diet pattern (high calorie diet), hypothyroidism, kidney disease and liver disease. since your liver enzymes are high, which means your liver is damaged. hence your high TGs also can be attributed to liver damage. you can get USG done, to evaluate liver morphology. liver damage can occur in infection (can occur even without fever), non-alcoholic damage can also occur.
do meet your nearest physician
wish you good health
