Brief Answer:
Get some tests done

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

The weight gain and irregular periods can be a sign of hormonal imbalance like Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD).

i will advice you to first get your Female hormones ( LH,FSH and Serum Prolactin ) checked. Also get a sonography of your uterus and ovaries to detect PCOD.

Once the tests come the medicines can be started.

The best way to loose weight is jogging for half hour everyday with skipping a meal.

Lot of experts have different viewpoints but this is what worked for me so i can suggest you.

Also there is something called a cabbage soup regime for weight loss which works well . You can find a detailed recipe on the internet.

Feel free to consult me directly

Brief Answer:
Yes you can.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX

1) Its better to skip lunch or dinner but NOT breakfast.

2)You can do skipping as long as you want as your c section scar is 2 years old.

3)You can take lemon honey juice but remember they will also add ( though not much if taken 1-2 glasses per day) to your calories.

Thanks a lot for your valuable answers.

Can i use/tie the same belt to reduce the stomach fat which i was using after delivery.Will it be helpful?

Does drinking warm water throughout the day and taking 2 garlic cloves per day helped for weight loss ?

How can we get rid of Bad cholestral ?

Thanks in advance,

Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX

The belt can be used but it will not reduce fat . It will only help you while skipping by making you comfortable.

Warm water, garlic cloves are all not proved to be of any use. Its more of local beliefs than any science.

Bad cholesterol will go by exercise, balanced diet, and taking drugs called statins. But get a lipid profile before we can start statins.
