Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Fatty liver is mild form of liver disease in which fat accumulate in liver cells. I suggest you to investigate with serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL estimation and random blood sugar estimation to do further work up. You should restrict intake of fatty foods, refined food, fried non vegetarian foods, pizza, burger like junk foods. Take Ursodexoycholic Acid tablet.
