are you obese or have abdominal obesity. Likely cause for this fatty liver which occurs due to deposition of fat in liver. There are medicine for it but also low fat and oily diet, low sugar diet and regular exercises will help to decrease the levels.
Also other causes like viral hepatitis should be ruled out, so get viral test done like HBsAg, Anti HCV. Are u consuming any drugs, medicine or alcohol, if yes alcohol should be stopped and drugs should be reviewed for liver toxicity.
