Keto and cholesterol

[SasaZg]

Hello I am new here and sorry if I post it in wrong group.
So I am on keto last 4 months and since then I lost 6 kg (I have 56 kg now and I am fine with that). I really feel great, full of energy and not hungry. I also exercise regulary but I was doing that before keto too. But yesterday I did my blood test and cholesterol was 7.4 even I have never had it over 5. So what now? I feel confused and don’t know what should I do?

Thanks for reply.
I am still struggling with numbers because my results are in mmol/L (I live in Europe) so I have to multiply with 18 to get mg/dl and then my results are
Triglicerids 19
HDL 41
LDL 83
So trig/LDL is less than 1. It should be ok? Or I didn’t understand well?

Numbers are excellent. Congrats!!

Ok sorry I found my ratio TG/HDL in mmol/L is 0.45 which seems perfect. So I should not worry at all?

Thank you very much for answer. I haven’t calculated those numbers before, but I was shocked yesterday with test results because it says cholesterol over 90 is too high
