Hello dear,

As evident from the reports of Liver function tests, all the parameters are above normal range.
This indicates an Acute hepatitis (infection/ inflammation of the liver tissue) most probably due to consumption of excess alcohol, as indicated by a raised Gamma GT level.
Moreover, the serum bilirubin level is also increased, which is indicative of jaundice.
Based on the above mentioned facts, the yellowish discolouration of the eyes is due to jaundice.

Kindly consult a Gastroenterologist & start treatment immediately to prevent any further complication.
Also you need to abstain from alcohol.
Certain investigations like Ultrasound scan of abdomen, serum HbsAg will be helpful to rule out any viral infection.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
