Hi and welcome.
Did you have it checked before you started? It could be coming down. How poor was your diet before? IMO, a crappy high-carb diet is infinitely worse for your liver than real food and vegetables. I'd have a hard time believing that would be causing liver problems. In fact, our crappy diet is causing an epidemic of NAFLD among teenagers. KIDS. 10% of them have it! Imagine what the rates are among adults.
Other causes of elevated ALT can be heart conditions, muscle damage, and exposure to alcohol, medications, etc. There are MANY medications - prescription and non-prescription - that are harsh on the liver, including statins and NSAIDS.
FWIW, my ALT was elevated at my last physical, but the doc wasn't concerned and neither was I.
HTH.
