#1 treatment is weight loss, since the majority of NAFLD patients are overweight or obese. Exercise is an important adjunct in a weight loss strategy. Any hyperlipidemia and diabetes should be treated and controlled as effectively as possible. Lastly, there is a new FDA-approved medicine called resmetirom, but it is only for people with more advanced disease (NASH) with a liver fibrosis score of 2 or 3.
