Brief Answer:
LFT looks fine

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Your liver function test looks absolutely fine.
Your BMI is 33.8 which indicates you are obese.

Check your blood glucose and cholesterol levels.
If these are within normal limits then your fatty liver is probably due to obesity.
In that case weight reduction is the first step in treating your fatty liver.

Regards,
Dr.R.K.
