Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You are suffering from mild hepatomegaly with grade II fatty changes.
Most commonly it is due to obesity and sedentary life.
It may also be due to altered lipid profile,hepatitis etc
You need few other investigations like routine hemogram,Random blood sugar(RBS),Liver function test(LFT),Lipid profile,Renal function test(RFT),viral markers.
Fatty liver is a reversible condition and it can be reversed by diet and life style changes.
You may need some medicines after full investigations.
It may take 3-4 months to reverse the findings.

You should be active in your daily life.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
You should also avoid fried and junk food.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables.You should also increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.
You can also do meditation and yoga.It will help you a lot.
Don't take stress.You will be fine.

Get well soon.
Take Care
