Your Cholesterol is very deranged. You need to start with diet and Exercise precautions immediately. And repeat lipid profile again after 4 weeks. If it is still deranged, you will need medicine. Avoid cod liver oil supplements at this stage. And also because of your age get your sugar tested and also get a stress echocardiogram done. Quit Smoking and alcohol if you do.

Do not take any additional oil. Take 200 gms of salad with every meal. Eat only fruits in breakfast. Go for a brisk walk for 40 minutes.
