I have high cholesterol before 287 and now 232 after months of diet and exercises and supplements im 38 yrs old i have a healthy life style im trying ?

Ok: I am glad that you have adopted a healthy life style. However the liver produces cholesterol in the body and it may be very difficult to really bring it down without meds. Just get it repeated in six months.
