Hello
Your findings may indicate enlarged liver with with increased echotexture which may indicate grade I fatty liver.
Fatty liver is due to deposition of fat within liver cells.It is a reversible condition.
Fatty liver may be due to many causes like obesity,alcoholism,sedentary life,hepatitis,altered lipid profile,metabolic disorder etc.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,liver function test,random blood sugar,lipid profile,urine RE/ME.
Avoid alcohol if you take it.Go for brisk walk regularly and take lot of fibers in your food.
Avoid saturated fat and fried food.
Other findings related to abdomen like IHBR,CBD,portal vein etc are normal.
Get well soon.
Take Care
