Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Its good that your blood sugar and cholesterol are well within normal range and you maintain a healthy diet.
SGPT value of 103 certainly needs evaluation. Alcohol is one of the most important toxic agent for liver, but it typically causes a rise in SGOT which is more than SGPT,usually SGOT is twice the SGPT and you have mentioned that your SGOT is 51 which suggests some other cause of high SGPT.
Other important causes for elevated SGPT include viral hepatitis , fatty liver, certain hepatotoxic drugs, and autoimmune liver diseases. has your ultrasound shown fatty liver?
You can consult a Gastroenterologist who can help in determining the exact cause for your high SGPT. Meanwhile, you should certainly stop alcohol.
I sincerely hope this will help you!
