Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R,K and I am pleased to assist you.

The normal size of liver in an adult male varies according to the age, sex and the build and what method was used to assess it.
You are overweight which can cause fatty liver which probably is causing your liver to enlarge.
You need to reduce your weight.
If you have the habit of drinking alcohol you need to quit it.

These two simple measures would help you normalize your liver size.
I hope that answers your question.

Regards.
