Congratulations: Your weight loss is a major achievement. The hepatomegaly and steatosis may conceivably be related to the obesity, but without further testing would be impossible to know. Keep up the great work on your diet.

Very much so: Studies suggest that up to 80-90% of obese individuals have some degree of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease! Weight loss is the treatment of choice(albeit controlled) but congratulations in your success thus far.
