May be: You liver enzymes are mild/moderately elevated and it is important to determine the cause and treat that. One common cause is drinking alcohol, if you drink, stop entirely and get tested again in three months. Viral infections, and some medications can also alter liver enzymes.

Yes, it does indicate liver damage. As mentioned by Dr Singh, alcohol is the most common cause but the ratio of ast to alt elevation that is typically seen with alcohol use is not evident in your case. Please consult a hepatologist or a GI who takes care of liver diseases. Complete alcohol abstinence in the meantime may help to clear up the picture if there is any overlap. Hope this helps.
