@zamalik - Lipids can seem a bit mystical, and oftentimes I think they are as much a mystery to our GPs as they can be for us. I know I have certainly had some "interesting" conversations with GPs.
These are my historic lipid levels. I have had a more recent set, which have been discussed, but I haven't yet had the consultant's letter with the numbers in it:

The most recent bloods I have had done broadly reflect recent years, with the Total Cholesterol coming in at 7.6, if I recall correctly, and trigs at 0.8. Those bloods were done as part of my participation in a research study (which is still recruiting), looking at cardiac failure in those living with T2. I have no history of cardiac issues of any sort.
I had extensive tests - EGC, Stress/Exercise ECG, CT Scan, including an arterial calcium scan, then MRI and extended MRI, including an Adenosine stress test.
In discussing my results (and watching my own heart beat), the cardiologists were supremely unconcerned by my lipid panel. He was keen to emphasize he might view it differently had I had any form of cardiac event or have other underlying cardiac challenges. I took enormous heart from that.
I would urge you to expand your learning on lipids. If you haven't done so already, you might find some of Professor Ken Sikaris's presentations on YouTube to be helpful. He presentation style is very relaxed and clear.
As has been said, if you are in a weight loss phase, please don't be too quick to draw conclusions where your lipids are concerned. You may find your numbers moderate as your waistline slims.
