Brief Answer:
Atorvastatine side effects.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I think you are experiencing side effects of atorvastatine that are liver problems showed by elevated liver enzymes and kidney problems due to edema and water retention and weight gain.
I think your doctor should stop atorvastatine and change it to another medication.
Also I recommend you to continue your physical activity and diet to help lower your high cholesterol , triglyceride and LDL levels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
