Hi.
thank you for posting query at HCM.

definitely, exercise and strict diet along with medication aids in weight reduction and improving the abnormal liver enzymes reading.
however, you need to monitor your liver enzymes and lipid profile every 6 months to 1 year.

secondly, visit your treating physician and take his advice for discontinuation of drugs and/or dose adjustment. Prevention is better than cure. So, try to maintain ideal weight to avoid complications of being overweight.

any further questions are welcomed.
hope to answer your concern.
wish you good health.

regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
