Your cholesterol is ok. Your triglycerides are high, (VLDL is just triglycerides divided by 5,) it is not another measurement. HDL is low. These numbers show that your diet is restricted with too much modern foods like sugar, starch etc or alcohol. It is not very helpful to measure lipids, although it is very popular. For sensible advice on diet, talk to biochemistry graduates, don't believe newspapers and don't trust everything you are told. Please discuss on phone if you require more details.
