Hi Jabran, I'm similar age and height and was also around 14 stones. My enzymes were also raised ALT, AST and GGT. My fibroscan result was 6.7kpa, you can find the scales online but those levels aren't really normal and do suggest possible fibrosis.

you would need to have a liver biopsy to definitely determine what the cause is, but in my case I've been told it's just a fatty liver and with weight loss the liver will repair itself and the stiffness and inflammation will reduce. I would ask your GP to refer you to a hepatologist though - it's very important to see the correct doctor.

good luck
