Brief Answer:
Likely hormonal disturbances

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease, or can be due stress which leads to hormonal disturbances in body.
I would suggest you to take progesterone tablet to induce periods.
Also do get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get further management accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
