Several things: I am not sure you are obese person or not. If so, you need to loose weight gradually with diet and exercise. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or high lipid (especially high triglyceride), make sure these are in good control. For diet you need to cut down on carbs and fat. Regular aerobic exercise even without weight loss can lower your fat content in the liver.

Exercise & good diet: There are no specific foods to get rid of fatty liver. However, the fat responds to a healthy well balanced diet with exercise. If you are overweight, weight loss is key to help the liver decrease fat accumulation. If you have diabetes or elevated cholesterol, it is important to control them as well.

Treat the cause: It would be improtant to find the cause. If you drink alcohol, stop that. If you are overweight, lose weight; if you are diabetic, control your blood sugar better; if you have a nutritonal defeciency, that would need to be corrected, and this is only a partial list of the possible causes.

Reverse risk factors: Fatty liver is incredibly common, predominantly due to: high alcohol intake, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity. The more of these risks you have, the greater the chance of fatty liver. Addressing these risks is an important step to correcting fatty liver. Distinguish hepatosteatosis (fatty liver) from steatohepatitis (fatty liver with abnormal liver tests that risks cirrhosis & liver cancer).
