Default 9 months later...still skyrocketed. Advice/comments/suggestions needed

I began low carbing last june and I've learned to love this way of life. For the first time in my life (have been overweight since a child) I feel in control over food. My weight loss have been slowly but steadily for a total of 30 ps lost. Just 11pds from goal.
I've checked my lipid profile 3 times. The last one was today, 9 months after I started. All of the 3 times I"ve got very poor results. I'll see my doctor next tuesday. Last november she wanted to medicate me and to quit Atknis...I insisted in give it a chance. She agreed in give it 3 months more. Today I got my results and I feel devastated. What happened here!
I work out at high intensity 3X week (weight lifting and run). My BP is super good 120/80. I'm 37.
Any advice would be deeply appreciated. I feel lost and I don't know what's next...
