Hi Lowliu:
Here are the recommendations of the American Heart Association:
Total cholesterol less than 200
HDL cholesterol at least > 40, ideally > 60
LDL cholesterol at least less than 130, ideally less than 100
Triglycerides less than 150
Your score, if I understand them correctly--look like you are okay.
Here are links to information you may want to review:

Take care,
Tara
