Brief Answer:
You need statin medication, diet and execise

Detailed Answer:
Yes your lipid profile is very abnormal and needs treatment.About the yellow deposits sometime they do reduce with treatment but generally don't go away and in that situation need to see a dermatologist for local treatment. As for as your lipids are concerned you need treatment which includes drugs called statinS and preferably rosuvastatin in about 20mg dose but see physician or cardiologist and get prescription. Also integral to therapy is exercise at least 44-60min walking daily and diet which shouldn't contain any fried or oily food, no sweets and non veg as less as possible. You need to look at the calories also based on your weight and activity level
