Suggest Treatment Ofr High Cholesterol Levels

Hi Doc, I am 40 yrs old male, just got my blood test result. My overall cholesterol went up the roof, 283, triglyceride 169,LDL 152,HDL 54. Usually, I score between 180-210. I exercise 6 days a week but do not watch my diet. Should I be concerned and start taking medication. Also, my SGOT and SGPT are higher than upper limit, 40 and 44 respectively
