Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have increase indirect unconjugated hyperbilirubin.
So causes seems most likely by any of hemolytic anemia.....
For diagnosing hemolytic anemia reticulocyte count , PS and serum LDH study done....PS will guide toward diagnosis.
Ex.target cell suggest hemoglobinopathy for which electrophoresis done , bite cell suggest g6 PD deficiency , spherocytes suggest spherocytosis, malaria parasite in malaria etc.....

So according to cause treatment done...
Still cause not clear perform your LFT with viral marker to rule out hepatitis.

Hope your concern solved.
