high triglycerides?

I'm around 30yo male myself. Heart disease runs in the family - many of the men on my dad's side have had heart attacks and/or died from them. I get a ton of saturated and unsaturated fats every week (around 300g sat fat, 100g each poly and mono unsat fat) from peanut butter, coconut oil, flax seed, and salmon. I have a really low triglyceride count (39). I would be very cautious of anyone saying "reduce fat" because of a high tri count.
Incidentally, my LDL is 50, HDL 65, cholesterol 123.0 -
Low HDL and that is low, combined with high trigs is an indicator of small dense LDL, another indicator that he should at least see a specialist, in my opinion.0

It has been known for decades that low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets can increase plasma triglyceride levels0
