Your cholesterol and triglycerides are high, and HDL is low. Start lifestyle changes: avoid fried foods, sugary drinks, and red meat, eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, exercise 30 min daily, and maintain a healthy weight. If high cholesterol runs in your family or you have other health risks, medication may be needed. Repeat a Lipid Profile after 3 months to check improvement. Consult your doctor for further treatment planning.
