Could be both: Gilbert's disease and fatty liver. Elevated liver enzymes make fatty liver a more likely explanation as bilirubin of 1.2 is within normal limits. See this site for info on gilbert's. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gilberts-syndrome/basics/definition/con-20024904.

Not usually: Gilbert's causes a "cosmetic" abnormality in bilirubin (bile pigment) metabolism. Does not cause changes on ast, alt-that reflects mild inflammation of liver cells. Could be due to overweight, needs, alcohol, infection, immune inflammation, other.
