Target ldl should be less than 100. Take balanced diet with ample green leafy vegetables. Avoid food high in cholesterol like red meat, butter ghee, egg yolk. Exercise regularly (at least 150 mins per week). Repeat lipid profile after 3 weeks. Meanwhile also get your blood sugar and blood pressure checked.
