I'm dealing with a fatty liver and it's around 14 cm in size. My height is 5 feet 7 inches and I weigh about 79 kgs, which is close to 40 pounds. I'm really looking to know what other steps I can take besides taking medicine to improve my condition. What can I do?

To help manage a fatty liver, in addition to medication, lifestyle changes are crucial. You should focus on maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Avoid foods high in saturated fats, sugars, and refined carbohydrates. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular physical activity, such as aerobic exercise and strength training, can also be beneficial in reducing liver fat. Additionally, limiting alcohol consumption and managing any underlying conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol can help improve liver health. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of your condition.

I'm having these weird symptoms after eating anything, like I keep burping and it feels like something's stuck in my throat, although it doesn't hurt. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. Could this be related to COVID or something else?
