Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, metabolism slows with increasing age. You need to reduce your food intake. Consult a nutritionist. Wish you good health!
