Hello

Your findings suggests raised SGPT level.
Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,fatty liver,auto immune causes etc.
It may be due to fatty liver in your case.

You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers.
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
Further requirement of medicines depend upon findings.

I suggest follow up test after two month.
You should quit alcohol completely.

It is good that you are active in daily activities.Try to maintain it.

Get well soon.
Take Care
