Hello, The values of lipids mentioned are not very high. LDL & TGL both are moderately high. But do not warrant any drug treatment. However, looking at the weight and height it is clear that with a BMI of 29.26 kgs/M2, the subject is very close to become obese. Therefore, weight reduction with restricted diet and regular exercise will definitely help in correcting the lipid levels. Thanks.
