You're a great place to be at! You're results are great and suggest you will likely lose the surface antigen in the near future. I would consider myself lucky if I were you.
Your dad's doctor is right, since any rise in his viral load was likely due a weakened immune system as a result of infection and antibiotics and not that the virus has mutated. It's great news his fibroscan is so low at his age. He should continue to get monitored in 3 month intervals as the doctor suggests and if the viral load falls back under 2000iu/ml, no treatment will be  a indicated  and he can get monitored 6 monthly thereafter.

My wishes with you
