Could Being Overweight Cause Fluctuating SGPT Levels With Other Liver Function Levels Normal?

Hi, I am 26 years old and I weight 103kgs... my height is 5 ft 7 in... I was tested some time ago and had elevated SGPT... It was 165... SGOT, GGT, Billirubin and all other Liver indicators were normal. After a month, my SGPT was 83... And in a few months SGPT was 27 and recently it was 16 with rest of the LFT normal. What could be the reason for this elevated SGPT?
