Hi I can understand your concern.
Don't worry.
Noted you have elevated cholesterol with slight increase sgpt.
Get your USG abdomen to detect secondary fatty liver or gall stone like condition.
If both this negative then you might have drug induce liver enzyme elevation....
Your aim is to reduce weight with decrease cholesterol...
Take low fat diet.
Do regular one hour swimming or running.
Cheese, pizza, non veg taken very less....
Fruits more.
With the time sgpt will be normal.
No need for much worry....
Take care.
