Brief Answer:
not really bad.

Detailed Answer:
Dear ma'm, things are not really bad.
for 5'4" ie 160 cm, you are overweight by 9 kg. that much can be brought down within 4-5 months. so you can safely start with metformin and regular diet and exercise. plan your baby right away as you are having normal cycles, and good thyroid balance. regards!
