Yes, yes, and yes.: A person of average height and musculature should be worried if he weighs 270 pounds... that's way too heavy. He should also be worried about fatty liver... and his primary care doctor can offer advice on that plus check for diabetes. He should worry about gallstones too, and his doctor may refer him to the surgeon, as removal of the gallbladder may be needed. First cut the calories, if too heavy.

Weight loss: and a healthier lifestyle are the best ways to treat the above problems. You are young and have time on your side so get to work! Obesity, fatty liver, and gallstones can sometimes lead to heart problems, vascular disease and liver failure. Work with your self and your doctor to get your weight and cholesterol under control. Be sure to note smoke. Best of luck :)
