Hello

USG findings indicate fatty changes in liver.
Most commonly it is due to obesity and sedentary life. It is also related to alcohol intake etc.

I suggest investigations like routine hemogram, Random blood sugar(RBS), Liver function test(LFT), Lipid profile, Renal function test(RFT) to my patients.

You should try to lose your weight as you are overweight.

Fatty liver is a reversible condition and it can be reversed by diet and life style changes.
You may need some medicines after full investigations.
It may take 6-8 months to reverse the findings.

You should be active in your daily life.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
You should also avoid fried and junk food.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables and increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.

Take Care
