steatosis can be caused from factors other than alcohol. Both my brother and I have a degree of it - neither of us drink: he's overweight, and I am not.  NASH can cause the deranged liver panel results you are seeing - and if the doc can see an underlying cause, (environmental, hepatotoxins like pesticides, solvents, other drugs) then perhaps the offending substance can be removed from your environment - and then improvement can take place.

A fatty liver is most commonly caused by alcohol and obesity. If it's only a mildly fatty liver, then I would think you can 'fix' it fairly easily with a healthy diet and abstaining from alcohol. The doctors then say you can usually see to what extent the liver will recover after about 6-9 months.
