I guess a recommendation for treatment would be maintain a healthy weight and get some kind of regular exercise along with a health diet. And no alcohol

You said you’re not overweight what is your bmi? Some excess weight may be enough to de op fatty liver in some people.

Ultrasound can’t really diagnose cirrhosis it can only be indicative of the appearance of cirrhosis. Based on your liver biopsy as a lay person I would assume you might have F2 or F3 fibrosis. A fibrosis score of F4 is liver cirrhosis.
To determine a treatment plan first you need to determine the cause of your fibrosis.
Not everyone with fatty liver is overweight.
Hepatitis B is a virus so yea it would be viral. Hepatitis A and C are also viruses
As far as hepatitis b not sure what you mean the diagnosis wasn’t consistent with your lifestyle.
How is HBV transmitted?
HBV is transmitted from a person who has HBV infection to a person who is not infected through activities that involve percutaneous (i.e., puncture through the skin) or mucosal contact with infectious blood or body fluids (e.g., semen and saliva), including
a mother to her baby during pregnancy or delivery
sexual contact with an infected partner
injection drug use that involves sharing needles, syringes, or drug-preparation equipment
contact with blood from or open sores
exposures to needle sticks or sharp instruments
sharing certain items that can break the skin or mucous membranes (e.g., razors, toothbrushes, and glucose monitoring equipment), potentially resulting in exposure to blood
through poor infection control practices in healthcare settings (e.g., dialysis units, diabetes clinics).
There are five stages (F0: no scarring (no fibrosis); F1: minimal scarring; F2: scarring has occurred and extends outside the liver area (significant fibrosis); F3: fibrosis spreading and forming bridges with other fibrotic liver areas (severe fibrosis); F4: cirrhosis or advanced scarring).
Cirrhosis is the highest level of fibrosis. Fibrosis means scarring. Liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis g cirrhosis and liver damage.
Fibrosis (Scarring)
When someone has liver disease, their liver enters into a very dangerous cycle. Persistent inflammation, or hepatitis, sends nonstop signals to repair cells to continue depositing collagen. The extra collagen stiffens around the tissue like it is supposed to in the healthy liver; but, instead of a signal being released to stop the inflammation and discard the extra collagen, the inflammation continues, and even more collagen is deposited, leading to more stiffening. This is how fibrosis develops.
Cirrhosis (Severe Scarring)
Cirrhosis is where your liver is severely scarred and permanently damaged. While the word cirrhosis is most commonly heard when people discuss alcohol-induced liver disease, cirrhosis is caused by many forms of liver disease.
I did years ago just because they were uncertain of what my diagnosis was. They said NAFLD even though I’m not overweight and have worked out for years. I was never a big drinker though. I completely stopped in January of this year.
Did you keep drinking after any of these diagnoses?
