Fat malabsorption?: If your stool is floating, think fat malabsorption. Also, depends on what your eating.

No concerns: There is no evidence that the color of stools has any relation to liver function. The use of the medications you mention have no negative effect on your liver; and even if they did, you would not know it by the color of your stools. It may be that you suffer from an anxiety disorder that makes you worry excessively about your health, such as hypochondriasis. You should ask your doctor about that.
