If you have weight loss and are clearing lipids from adipose stores, then this could elevate your blood lipids and your cholesterol test might be a snapshot of that. Although, I don't think losing 5 pounds in 3 months is such a dramatic change.....but who knows?
Some of the PhDs in this area are of the opinion if you have a stable metabolism and weight for 3 to 6 months, then take the test results should be more stable.
