Hi,
Fatty infiltration of the liver is reversible condition and no need to worry regarding that. You have to reduce your weight if obese.
In such case, it's advisable to investigate with random blood sugar estimation and total cholesterol estimation as well for further work up.
Ursodeoxycholic Acid tablet can be prescribed in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
