Brief Answer:
Depends on food pan and how cautious are you about recovery.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Have gone through your details,
Recovery of the liver would take a time period that ranges between 3 to 6 months depending on the grade of fatty liver as of now but as per the information was given by you it seems to be a case of grade 1 or 2 liver disease.
Proper food plan would help you to recover very fast-
Example of foods are-

-Whole grains are very beneficial to consume. These can be in the form of whole wheat bread or cereal, brown rice, whole grain pasta, grains such as whole oats, wild rice, rye, oatmeal, and corn are also beneficial and can be taken if suits your food pattern.
-Fruits and vegetables should be a significant part of any diet to help in recovering from a liver disease. They are full of essential nutrients and are easy to digest.
-Healthy proteins in the form of low-fat milk and dairy products along with lean meats, beans, eggs and soy products can also be a part of a healthy liver diet.
-Avoid red meat.
Try to switch over to a veg diet.
Take antioxidants daily.
-Silibinin, also known as silybin, is the major active constituent of silymarin, a standardized extract of the milk thistle seeds, containing a mixture of flavonolignans consisting of silibinin, is silibinin. It should be taken two times a day. Its a very potent liver rejenuvator and is very effective in maintaining liver health.

Ayurvedic tablet Liv 52 should be taken once daily.


Hope I was helpful.
Keep enjoying your life dear.
Wish you a great day ahead.
Thanks.
