Low HDL cholesterol

I recently had a blood test and was surprised to find my HDL is lingering on the low side. I did a search of this forum and many of the ways to help raise it are things I already do:

Suggestions
Lose weight: I'm not overweight by any means and I exercise frequently
Drink alcohol in moderation: I don't have a drink once a day, but I do drink occasionally
Stop smoking: I've never had a cigarette
Eat olive oil/peanut butter/nuts: I do all this almost every day (I'm working on weeding out PB from my diet due to migraines)
Stop eating trans fatty acids: I'm sure I eat my fair share since I don't track this, but I eat better than anyone I know
Take fish oil: I pop three capsules a day (around 3,000mg)

I'm also worried because although I'm a very healthy eater, my LDL was on the higher side. So that means things like eggs are out. I know cholesterol is only 20% diet and more likely from genetics and lifestyle, but there's no family history of this and I have a very healthy lifestyle.

It's not a concern from my doctor but I really would like to know how to raise it without compromising the LDL!

Eating saturated fat raises HDL and apparently improves the pattern type of your LDL to one that's beneficial.

ETA: And you really need to get rid of the trans fat!
