Hi thanks for asking question.

Here you have elevated liver enzymes as it could be in your case by non alcoholic fatty liver disease.USG useful .

Second hepatitis also has to be ruled out by USG and serum viral marker.

If you have cardiac problem like heart failure then also enzymes elevated .ECG useful.

If muscle injury present then also liver enzymes falsely elevated.

I don't think gym and related protein diet can affect liver.

If liver problem present following reccomendation for you.

-more water
-more fruits
-green leafy veg more
- avoid trans fat like cheese, chips , meat
-omega 3 fatty oil useful like olive oil
-avoid refined sugar and fat
-regular aerobic exercise.

Wish you good health
Repeat your liver enzymes after few days as follow up
Happy to help you further.

Regards
