What is the advantage of Nuc's on fibrosis, will it regress it? Had F2-F3 fibrosis stage a year ago?

If you delay it you might be dying 2 years from now, you must start with treatment now.

If fubroscan confirmed that you are f3 you must start immediately with either entecavir or tenofovir. Can't delay it.
