Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The symptoms looks to be due to PCOS or the hypothyroidism which are the usual causes at this age for the irregular menstrual cycle.
Kindly get a thyroid profile and USG abdomen and pelvis done to rule out the exact cause. Do regular exercise and have a balanced diet, weight reduction is very important in your case.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
