I got my bloodwork back and wonder what the following scores indicate relative to plaque and heart health

Cholesterol 168
Triglycerides 131
HDL 47
vldl 26
LDL 95
Hemoglobin Alc 6.0
Mean Pla Glu estimation 136
c reactive protein 1.95
Thyroxine 1.43
TSH 1.344
Triiodonthyronine 131
Sedimentation Rate--Westergren 12
Vitamin B12 654
Creatinine Kinase Total Serum 102
RBC 3.90(low)
Hemoglobin 11.9 (low)
Hematocrit 35.5 (low)
RDW 15.5 (high)

My internist increased my crestor to 40mg because of the rise in my triglycerides from 86 to 131 and LDL from 88 to 95.

Wonder what is causing this increase? Could it have been affected by holiday carbs as I took the tests on Jan 19th and gained about 7 lbs over the holiday to 225? I was back down this a.m. to 222.
