Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

Treatment of fatty liver depends upon the cause. If alcohol consumption is the cause, it should be stopped immediately.The following steps are taken in treatment of fatty liver
1.Lifestyle changes - Weight loss and exercise are among the most promising of treatments of fatty liver. A 10% decrease in weight may results in a reduction of liver fat and inflammation.
2 Medications like lipid lowering drugs are helpful if blood lipid levels are high
3. Supplements (antioxidants) like Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids are helpful to reduce progression of disease

Finally surgery and liver transplantation are only hope of treatment in severely progressed cases

Hope this information helps
