Background:
I have been on TRT for the better part of 3 years now with no more than 200mg/week (as prescribed by my doctor) along with 12.5mg EOD of Aromasin. Well i got my bloodwork back last week and my Triglycerides were high as well as my HDL being low. I have not cycled in the past 3 years and up until recently never did cardio, only weights. As of the past month i have been swimming 4-6x a week at a moderate pace, averaging 300 laps/week. Here is the results of my last blood test:

I would appreciate any and all feedback, the older i get the more health concious i have become. I am willing to take all suggestions. As of last week i went out and bought baby aspirin, Krill Oil and CoQ10. Thank you guys all for your help and time. I am now at a point where i am debating stopping TRT simply because i feel that TRT combined with AI's could be negatively impacting my cardiovascular system. Also my sex drive as of the past year has really sucked. Am i over thinking my health and recent blood work or is there some justification to my concern? God Bless you guys!
