No. Nothing serious. You need to lose weight. Excess fat is being deposited in your liver. There is nothing life threating in but in long term after 15/20yrs it can cause liver problems, diabetes n all

Looks like you have fatty liver. This is an early stage of the disease. U need to modify your diet, and do exercise to decrease weight. At this stage generally it doesn't cause problems. But if it progresses over a decade, it can cause cirrhosis and liver failure. So you need to take it seriously. If you are using alcohol, stop it.
Next Steps
Decrease weight and monitor improvement in liver size.
