what is the problem?

I had elevated liver enzymes and pain in right quadrant 1.5 years ago.
From ultrasound they told i have signs of fatty liver.
After exercising and weight loss, my enzymes came to normal level in 4 months and
CT scan at that time for right quadrant was totally normal.
Then, I thought my health problem was solved and I neglected my weight and exercising.
2 months ago, my enzymes elevated again: ast 50, alt 101. I exercised and lost weight again and
did a blood test a few days ago: ast 33 and alt 37. they were in the normal range.
the pain in my right hand side is changing: sometimes dull and sometimes sharp, sometimes very weak and it continues.
in fact, most of the time it is below the liver region. i have irritable bowel syndrome and one of my GIs
thought that the pain may be coming from it. my CRP (C-reactive protein) was always normal in all blood tests.
CRP measures inflammation. if my pain in right quadrant was from liver inflammation, should crp not be normal?
my last blood test was totally normal.
I never drink alcohol. Due to my IBS problem, I have gas and bloating almost every day.
i am not sure if my problems are liver related or not.
what do you think?  what is the source of my pain?
