No, you should not change anything yet as far as activities, if taking supplements let your doc know. Alkaline phosphatase is commonly originating in the liver or bone and the work up as ordered by your doc should clarify what the next step should be.

Alkaline phosphate is an enzyme produced by many different tissues, particularly bone. Most likely yours is elevated due to still-active bone growth and maturation. The weight lifting actually plays a minor role since it also promotes bone density growth. I am hopeful that your alkaline phosphate isoenzyme test demonstrates that.
