It appears from your readings that you have an unusually high triglycerides reading and an unproportionate amount of LDLs (bad cholesterol). Though diet and lifestyle plays a small role, a big percentage is also played by genetics.

Triglycerides indicates probably an overabundance of processed carbs in your diet. Your best bet here is to reduce the processed carbs (most breads, dry cereals, sugar, fast food, candy and desserts) and replacing this with high fiber carbs. 90% of adults in the US do not get sufficient fiber in their diet. Soluble fiber has been shown to help reduce serum LDL levels in the body and can be obtained through whole grains, fruits and veggies. This along with reducing processed carbs (the liver will convert carbs into triglycerides) should help.

You may want to look at the fat intake in your diet. You could be getting too many bad fats (saturated and trans fats) or too few fats. Some cholesterol in the diet is needed or else the body thinks it needs to produce its own – despite what the above poster mentions and how they’ve been much maligned, eggs are an excellent source of dietery cholesterol. Unsaturated fats from whole vegetable sources are your best bets there. Fish also provides an abundance of good fats as well as antioxidants. Just be sure you’re getting the necessary amount and not an overabundance of fats, about 20% of your overall caloric intake.

Alcohol and sugared drinks should be avoided, even most fruit juices. Alcohol reduces the presence of micronutrients in the blood as well as decreases testosterone levels, and also creates a spike in insulin levels. It also encourages people to eat when they don’t need to and unhealthy things at that. Sugared drinks provide an overabundance of simple carbs, something most people can do without most of the time. If you consume whole fruits and veggies, that should provide most of the micronutrients you need.

Finally, exercise should help. High intensity exercises show the best results in reducing bodyfat levels, which is also responsible for elevated blood cholesterol for a number of reasons. This does not mean you have to jump in and start killing yourself, but to focus on shorter high intensity exercises rather than long slow cardio sessions have been shown to be much more effective. An increase in metabolic rate is better at reducing bodyfat levels than simply burning calories during the exercise.

Most people are lacking in one or all of these areas: diet, exercise, and basic knowledge of nutrition and physiology. Most people have no idea what they’re actually getting from their diet as well. Education really is half the battle.
