Dropped my LDL from 154 to 134 in a year - Doctor not concerned

So I suffer from chronic health anxiety and last year I got my lipid panel done and it showed an LDL of 154. This was not a fasting blood test so my doctor says let’s try again in a year and fast this time. After a year of really cutting my saturated fats, sugars mom, etc it dropped to 134. I’m very thin and lost too much weight doing this and now I’m worried that Iv only dropped it 20 points in a year’s time. My doctor isn’t worried and says my calculated risk for cardiac events is 1%. I’m 39 years old and I haven’t been as active as I should be… Is my doctor under reacting?
