Hi welcome to HCM...

Noted liver enzymes are elevated....
You have not mentioned duration of usage of drugs that you have mentioned......

So here it seems to be drug induce liver affection....
To reduce its level low fat diet can be taken...
Vegetables and fruits more...
Papaiya , apple are useful ....
Trans fat , junk food and high oily food avoided.

Meanwhile USG abdomen done to rule out fatty liver ,,gall stone etc....

Avoid alcohol if habit ....
It can affect liver so not taken excessively...

Viral marker by ELISA can be done for rule out viral hepatitis....

If obese and no other cause found then it can be non alcoholic steatohepatitis ....

Take care.

Keeping this in mind consult doc...
