As per literature asymptomatic gallstone doesn't need any surgery.
However, with you being young the chances of becoming symptomatic during your lifetime are high.
Hence, surgery is suggested but not a must in current situation.
Also any family history of Gallbladder cancer is also an indication for surgery
Next Steps
Consult a Surgical Gastroenterologist for understanding the situation in a better manner
