Sir with each passing year the guidelines are becoming more stringent which lesser triglycerides and ldl preferred. However your triglycerides level are just borderline high and may be managed by changing food habits, changing type of oil, prefer olive oil, next step supplement eg omega 3 fatty acid capsule 1-2 gm a day, lastly if it still doesn't fall back add fenofibrate 140 you your rosuvastatin. It's available in combination with rosuvastatin, just add F to brand you take
