Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor Normally protein consumption doesn't lead elevated liver enzymes... But if high protein diet consumed regularly along with supplement product for few months than can lead elevated liver enzymes. He is overweight, hence fatty liver or NASH condition might responsible here. Slight elevation like around 40 as per history not significant More than twofold increase need investigation work up...
