Hello

Increased ALT and GGT indicates liver injury.
Increased ALT may be related to dyslipidemia as you also have fatty liver.
Fatty liver is a reversible condition. Underlying cause need treatment.

You need further investigations like viral markers,complete liver function test,random blood sugar,lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.

In such conditions,I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
Along with this,patient also need hypolipidemic drugs like combination of fenofibrate(160 mg) and atorvastatin(10 mg).It should be taken after dinner at night.

Avoid alcohol completely if you take it.
You should also avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You should avoid fried and junk food.

Take Care
