Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such levels of liver enzymes are most likely caused by fatty liver indeed. They are not high, just slightly elevated so you have a time to help your liver to work fine.
Fatty liver is reversible condition. But if not treated can turn into liver cirrhosis which is irreversible.
Diet and lifestyle is the best way to maintain good liver condition. You should avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods, alcohol and medicines which are harmful to the liver (like popular painkillers). Physical activity is also very important.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
