what causes an enlarged and fatty liver?

I have severe diabetes, had 2 heart attacks last yr, I’m 40. my liver is “fatty” and enlarged. I am overweight, but was under or at normal weight level clear up until the dr removed the gallbladder, then i quit smoking and gained about 45 lbs since. the gallbladder i found out later did not need to be removed. i can eat a salad or drink a glass of tea or even coffee and all of a sudden my stomach is so bloated and hard as concrete. i was doing cardio and wt training as well as pilates and water aerobics…5 days a wk usually 4-5 hrs a day, and still could not lose an ounce of wt. what gives? i had blood work done last wk and was told today that my chol is 470 and trigyceride level is 790. she said everything is wayyy tooooo high. but im sure it is all related to the diabetes, heart condition (r coronary artery is clogged and too small for a stint) and fatty/enlarged liver. this scares me. thanks for your help.

If i do these exercises?

Run 2 miles at least 3 times a week and pilates also will I be in shape by summer? I am 5’4 110 pounds, with a little stomach (nothing that bad) and im not toned.

I want to get toned?

I was looking at pictures oif me from a couple summers ago and I was in such great shape. The thing is I didnt work out then and I dont now. I’m not fat at all, just out of shape. My stomach has a little pouch and my dream is to be in amazing shape by summer. Does Pilates work?
if so how often should i do it and can i buy the dvd’s at target
im 5’4 110 pounds

Could BASIC and doing pilates sloow injure the muscles in your lower back?

I have been doing pilates for 2 months now… VERY basic ab workouts mainly.. some thigh and butt.. but ALL in moderation.. I even bring my legs up as high as I can rather than almost touching the floor so I DONT strain my back. After 2 months of making my stomach so flat and sexy and strengthening all my muscles, tonight I picked my son up like I always do and I strained my lower back so much so I was paralyzed in pain for a minute.. It got better quiker than I thought…
But is it true maybe that for some.. pilates, no matter how basic and how CAREFUL you are, may not be built to handle the workouts? And after my back muscles heal, should I continue if I’m careful the way I pick things up and move? Because pilates for leaning and toning up is awesome for my body!
