Hi.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

In simple words, LDL is a bad cholesterol & HDL is good cholesterol. Your LDL level is 148 & is slightly high. Your HDL is 44 & this is normal. Triglycerides are also normal. All togethar your cholesterol is slightly high.
I would suggest you to not start cholesterol controlling medicines such as statins. Dietary management of cholesterol is first advised. Consumption of cholesterol & saturated fats should be lowered. Intake of fibers in diet should also be increased.

Refer to your physician
Hope this information helps
