Hello

It is important to know details of CECT (abdomen)findings like liver size,presence of nodules,surface irregularity,its appearance,enhancement pattern etc.
CECT may detect early stages of cirrhosis.
As there is diagnostic dilemma,I suggest for FNAC/Biopsy of liver.It can only assess exact stage of liver pathology.
Elevated ALT may indicate liver injury but it is important to assess underlying cause.
Elastographgy is also helpful in such cases.
Treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
You can these medicines empirically.

Get well soon.
Take Care
