Hello, You have bad cholesterol but seems like it can be taken care of with lifestyle modifications only for now like regular exercise high fibre diet, etc. The iron deficiency also can be taken care of with increasing intake of green leafy vegetables and apple, beetroot, jaggery, dates in your diet. Take care
