I can suggest you (if the chronic status is confirmed) to found a good doctor and to perform following  tests
- liver status by Fibroscan or biopsy (if Fibroscan is not available in you area biopsy is one of the alternative),
- HBsAg quantitative if is possible
- viral load (HVB DNA PCR)
- other liver related tests could help (ALT and AST and if is posible also ALKP  and Bilirubin and ... )

Base on this result a doctor should be able to advise you if treatment is recomanded or not.

Unfortunately it looks that you have a chronic infection with B virus (hepatitis b chronic) and is recomanded to made more tests.

HBsAg Positive mean that the infection exist
Igm/ Hep B Core Antigen Nonreactive mean that the infection is not in a acute phase, so the infection go on chronic phase
