Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. From the details given, it is clear that there is a fairly serious problem of stiffness based on fibroscan study. It is definitely related to excess consumption of alcohol plus being obese. Wih a BMI of 31.69 kgs, you are definitely obese. Your ideal weight should be about 75 kgs. Which means you have 22 kgs in excess. This along with alcohol are the main culprits. You will have to totally refrain form alcohol and smoking. There is no alternative. You are just 40, hence it is necessary to take that step. Plus weight reduction and diet control are other steps. Obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking all these can even lead to diabetes. So the choice is yours. Thanks.
