The key is reduction of weight

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all it need to make clear that having excess weight and less desire for sex is manifestation of same problem rather than being separate illnesses. Due to excessive weight there is increased conversion of estrogen in androgens and that leads to decreased sexual desire.

So definitely there is need to reduce weight by all means which includes diet restriction, exercise, medication and surgery in extreme cases. Although I should make it clear that talking about reducing weight is always easy to say but it needs a great effort on part of the person and results are mostly less than satisfactory despite all efforts.

I hope this assists you to some extent.
Thanks and regards.
