Brief Answer:
Weight loss is the key to treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
PCOS is associated with weight gain and irregular periods.
Weight loss is the basis of treatment for PCOS.
Proper diet, regular exercise and lifestyle changes like less stress, more physical activity will help you in decreasing weight.
Exercise includes regular jogging, cycling, yoga, aerobics, skipping and playing games like lawn tennis and badminton.
Treatment includes metformin, myoinositol, oral contraceptive pills, but these are to be taken after you are prescribed these by an OBGYN specialist.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
