@jheieck On the site of Prolia itself at https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-prolia-side-effects it says: "The most common side effects of Prolia® in women being treated for osteoporosis after menopause are back pain, pain in your arms and legs, high cholesterol, muscle pain, and bladder infection." So yes, this medicine may (partly or fully) be the cause of your high cholesterol.
I know there are a few alternatives to statins to lower high cholesterol, but I haven't got a clue to how safe and effective they are. I guess it's worth talking about it with an endocrinologist.
