I also have this issue, however my blood work shows favorable levels of HDL, LDL, and specifically lipoprotein A.
These details can be more important than the total number. Find a health care provider who understands these nuances. Statin pushers are not your friends. We have a concierge doctor who focuses on wellness.
Avoid ultra processed foods, including soybean and canola (rapeseed) oils. They're cheap and ubiquitous but were originally intended to be industrial lubricants, not foods! Such oils are high in Omega 6 fatty acids and cause inflammation. My doctor can't stress this enough.
EVOO, avocado oil, and animal fats have good Omega 3 vs Omega 6 ratios. Fry only in tallow or lard. Bake with lard and butter, not "vegetable" shortening and margarine.
My wife has been modifying her baking recipes to eliminate seed oils. There have been no compromises with taste or texture whatsoever.
You'll probably need to make a lot of your meals from scratch to avoid the bad stuff.
