What are the early causes of fatty liver?

Patient's question:

2 days ago, I went for a physical check-up. During the ultrasound, the doctor told me that my liver has a bit too much fat and is trending towards fatty liver disease, but it's not fatty liver disease yet. Last year, my routine physical exam showed normal liver function. I almost never drink alcohol, but in the past year, I've been drinking more often. Although the amount each time isn't much—just 2 to 3 qian of baijiu—I've never been able to drink much, and I don't think I've overdone it. Additionally, my diet is a mix of meat and vegetables, and I exercise regularly. I usually run 3 to 4 kilometers twice a week, plus I play basketball and table tennis once. I'm not overweight either—I'm 168 cm tall and weigh 65 kg. It's just that it's been getting colder since winter started this year.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: During the physical examination, the doctor found that there was an excess of fat in the liver when performing an ultrasound.
Advice: Fatty liver is generally related to obesity, but it is also associated with dietary habits and a lack of exercise in daily life. You can improve your condition by eating lighter foods and increasing physical activity. Don't worry about your situation.
