Yes, this can be pancreas related.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, your symptom and report can be related to pancreas.
Lipase is pancreatic enzyme and it is elevated in pancreatic diseases.
So better to get done ultrasound examination or CT scan of abdomen to rule out pancreatic pathology.
Also quit alcohol if you are alcoholic.
Hope I have solved your query.
