What Is The Treatment For Fatty Liver?

Hello, I am a 39 yr old male, Height is about 6ft 3in, and weigh about 260 lbs. I am a smoker who has been diagnosed with emphazema. They also found a nodule on right lung. At last scan there was no change in size. I also am a drinker and have been diagnosed with a fatty liver. Unfortunately, I havent been able to quit as of yet. In the last 2 weeks I have felt a pressure around my chest and neck. Pretty much right on my collar bone and right shoulder area. Is it possible that my liver has swollen to be putting pressure on my right lung?

For small nodule that is present if increasing in size then USG guided FNAC done for further work up....
