The liver tests are probably elevated due to fatty liver (NAFLD), which is by far the most common reason for this pattern of elevation. Typically other chronic liver conditions are ruled out with blood testing, so see a GI doctor to get that work up and maybe do a fibroscan or MR elastography to confirm the fatty liver.
