Your presumption: Could be right. Get checked for alcohol induced , viral or autoimmune hepatitis. Avoid taking tylenol, (acetaminophen) drinking alcohol. Take care! http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/elevated-liver-enzymes/my00508. http://www.herbalprovider.com/liver-enzymes.html.

Continue workup: Now would be a great time to get really into aerobic fitness -- this is likely to reverse NASH / nafld. You'll get checked for hepatitis c, wilson's, hemochromatosis, autoimmune hepatitis and a few others. Trust you're not taking meds or that they have been ruled out as causing the problems.
