Thanks for posting your query
Your cholesterol levels seem to be very high and definitely they need to be controlled. Diet and lifestyle modification help a lot in lowering the levels and medications are not a cure for it but just help in lowering the levels. Diet and exercise can help in lowering the levels up to 20%.
Some suggestions for you:
1. Resume moderate physical activity.
2. Daily brisk walk of at least half an hour is very essential.
3. Avoid smoking and alcohol.
4. Take diet low in saturated fat.
5. Opt for lots of fresh fruits,veggies and salads in the meals.
6. After getting up in the morning take 3 to 4 cloves of garlic with warm water.
7. Drink lots of water.
After 2 months of following all the suggestions get a repeat test done and if there is no reduction then you might require medications for prevention of other issues.
Hope I have answered your query.I will be available for follow up query.

If the cholesterol levels have been constantly on the higher side and they were much elevated 4 years back also then I must say that you require medications for bringing them down along with diet restriction and exercise. Once the levels are lowered then you can control it by diet and exercise. It is pretty good that other test reports are normal but having increased lipid values puts you on risk.
I was on an impression that your levels have suddenly increased and then diet and exercise would not have given great results in a short span.
Wishing you Good Health
