I guess you got the same as I have, fatty liver.  I have a fatty liver probably from a lot of drinking I did in my 20s.  I am also in my late 50s.  Doesn't mean much, no special treatment.  Even if you never drank, you can get what you got.  It's just the liver getting older and out of shape, plus my grandfather died of liver failure in his 70s, but he had the same lifestyle habits as me.  I figure I got another 15 years and my liver will go, and thus so will I, but that's okay by me, because my life is so limited from a car accident.  They say flu-like symptoms accompany liver failure.  Now, I take a lot of medications for the last ten years, and supposedly for some meds you should get your liver enzymes tested, to make sure a medication doesn't trigger liver disease, which is diff from fatty liver.  They draw blood on me every couple years and check all my glandular levels, etc.
