Hi, I would not say that this lipid profile is normal but it is not very much alarming too. Targeting total cholesterol under 150 and LDL cholesterol under 100 is good for heart health along with HDL cholesterol above 45. If you are over weight BMI >25 then try to come down with weight Avoid Junk food Take lot of Salads and fibre rich food Take probiotics Prefer protein rich diet ( mostly plant protein)
Next Steps
Practice above methods and Repeat Lipid profile after 1month . If abnormal then you will need medication
Health Tips
If you have family history of Heart attacks or deranged lipid profile then it is high time to control it
