Your liver scan shows grade 1 fatty liver and stage 4 fibrosis, which suggests early cirrhosis. There’s no iron overload, which is good.
Please consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and endoscopy, if needed. Early care can prevent complications.

Please seek a proper consultation with a Gastroenterologist.
All that I can say is that you are beyond the stage of management by a General Physician and your Liver may become worse if you neglect it any further.
