Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Enzyme levels of the liver is little high when compared to normal. It might be due to initial stages of fatty liver, as your doctor has rightly suggested. It is always good for you to reduce weight. But, if you are smoker and alcoholic, you need to stop it completely. Also avoid oily foods. Keep a follow up by getting liver function test and ultra sound scan of liver every 6 months to make sure it is under control and not progressed.
Wish you good health.
