Cholesterol can be high even in the underweight patients. It's body's response to certain conditions. You need to manage your diet to improve it. Take a personalized diet plan from a Nutritionist.

Sometimes inspite of being in the normal weight category the lipid profile is affected. One of the reason could be imbalance in the nutrient intake and improper lifestyle and lack of good nutrition.
Next Steps
You can book an appointment through Practo with me so I can suggest an appropriate nutrition plan to help improve the condition. A good nutrition plan is surely a need to improve the above imbalance in the lipid profile.
