Regular physical activity can help lower triglycerides and improve HDL cholesterol levels. You can do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.

I think you should ask the GP or nurse who ordered the blood tests to explain what they mean and the best course of action for you to take.
