Lipid Tests Done. What Should Be Done To Get Into Normal Range?

Hello, I am a 61 year old healthy male from India. My latest lipid profile readings are as under:
Total Cholesterol - 175
Triglyceride - 189
LDL Cholesterol - 96
HDL Cholesterol - 41
Total/HDL Ratio - 4.2%
I drink alcohol moderately about 2 pegs every alternate day.
I love sweets and desserts,
I smoke about 2 cigarettes a day.
I am a vegetarian, but eat fish about twice a month. I exercise regularly in a gym.
I presume my triglyceride levels are high. What should I do to come to normal.
Thanks in advance.
