See doc.: Sounds like you need an internist. BP seems excessively high for someone your age. Need a good eval for secondary causes of htn. Also if trig > 500 should consider treating. If LDL also elevated atorva or rosuva statin might be good choice. Congrats on wt loss. Keep up the diet / exercise and wt loss.

Keep going : The current weight is not provided, but if not at ideal body weight, further weight will likely help. Weight and diet are two pieces of the puzzle. Environmental factors and genetics predisposition are others. Blood pressure of 160/100 is hi for a 29 year old and most would start blood pressure medications at this point. Great job on the < 20 pounds weight loss.
