Labs have my liver scared

I just had my yearly physical. My DR sent me a letter saying my ALT and AST were slightly elevated and would like to do an US.

I am nervous because on the test, compared to my results 1 year ago, My WBC went from 8.0 to 4.1.

My mane symptons are that I have no energy and my bowels have gone from once to twice a week to 3 or 4 times a day. A lot of the time they appear to be greasy. This is very unusual for me.

I am thinking it's fatty liver, I am up 15 lbs from last year and I'm overweight. But my cholesterol dropped from 169 to 120. I'm please with that just confused because I would suspect having a fatty liver would mean high cholesterol.

I am very nervous and of course have read things online, and all things online point to cancer.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Do WBC or cholesterol have anything to do with a fatty liver or could it be something else.

Thanks!

Sorry for grammatical errors. Autocorrect is not my friend and I did not proof read before hitting send.
