Possibly nothing: If you already adhere to a healthy diet and exercise regimen - unfortunately there is little to nothing you can do non-pharmacologically to alter your cholesterol levels as they are usually pre-determined based on your genetic makeup. There is one exception - alcohol has been known to raise the HDL (good cholesterol), however this has its obvious boundaries and limits.

Reduce carbs: The easiest way to reduce high cholestero is by completely stopping high carb foods (grains, lentils, potato based items). Also avoid milk protein since it causes insulin resistance. Low carb food items such as flesh foods, eggs, non starchy vegetables, avocados, saturated fat (butter, ghee, coconut oil), olive oil are very effective.
