Is it safe to lose 3-4 lbs a week with fatty liver? i am 38 yr female weigh 285 and i am 5 9

Yes: That should be fine. Your bmi (body mass index) comes out to around 42 - ideal bmi should be 25 which equals 170lbs in your case but more important than the actual weight is that you maintain an steady diet and exercise regimen to work on losing weight over several years. If you lose weight your fatty liver will go away in most cases.
