Brief Answer:
Good report but still not time to stop meds.
Detailed Answer:
Reports look good, but it will be significantly because of medicine. You need to, as of now stop the finofibrate part, take 10 mg rosuvastatin. for about 3 month along with diet and exercise and recheck lipid profile after that. If still controlled reduce to 5mg for 3/6 months and after that it can be stopped provided report remain normal.
