Brief Answer:
follow the advises.. maintain a healthy lifestyle..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome back,
Thanks for following up with the details, Yes I've reviewed the reports..

As per your description, your father's BMI is around 28.8, which is in the overweight range..don't worry, it's a reversible condition with proper dietary changes and workouts..

The VLDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides are on the higher sides, and it needs proper timely follow-ups, lifestyle modification as well as further work-ups..

You've only shared the lipid profile, was just lipid profile done ? or any other investigations done also , if yes then please share those reports too.. if no other investigations done, then it's important to get the following done :
CBC, LFT, Electrolytes, Renal function test, 12 lead ECG, FBS, PPBS (2 hour post prandial), HbA1C..

Start implementing simple home cooked meals, avoiding deep fried/ junk/ processed/ excessive salty/ oily and/restaurant foods..

Avoid red meat(if non-vegetarian) as well as high fat dairy products, include lean meats like chicken, fish, yogurt, curd in regular diet..

Time to reduce/replace the regular wheat/flour made products with whole grain/wheat products, also include a lot green vegetables, salads in daily meals..avoid packaged fruit juices , try to take fresh fruit juice instead..

Avoid alcohol and/ smoking (if he does)..

A daily walk/jogging/exercise of 30-40 min is extremely important as diet habits alone is not sufficient, to yield the best benefit physical work-outs are vital too..

Just get all those above mentioned investigations done at first (you can simply go for a comprehensive preventive health check-up package where all these are included), followed by a clinical assessment by any Internal medicine specialist, based on all those findings, the decision should be taken whether to initiate lipid lowering medications (Statin group of drugs) on daily basis..

I've tried to make it as simple as possible for you to understand, let me know if anything's not clear..


Take Care
Kind Regards
