Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Your high triglycerides are not so high to start medicines. Do you have alcohol? If yes, I would suggest to reduce the intake or stop if possible. Usually, GGT increases due to alcohol. Lifestyle changes will help.

Blood sugar is also normal. Do not worry. Please mention your vitamin D level, will advise accordingly.
