Brief Answer:
weight loss helps in spontaneous conception

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
You are young enough and in case all your tests are normal and thus unexplained infertility then you can wait till reduction of weight till desired level so that chances of spontaneous conception are increased.
Weight reduction not only helps in spontaneous conception but also once you conceive it reduces risks related to obesity.
Hence chances of getting a healthy baby conceived spontaneously are increased.
You can continue the use of v wash like before and thus maintain local hygiene.
All the best.
