Dear Mrs,
Your physical activity is good. I would advise you to follow more strict diet for cholesterol, if you eat much cholesterol rich food. You should't smoke. If you have diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled hypertension, then you will need to take cholesterol lowering medications, such as a statin. Otherwise following to healthy lifestyle is enough.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
