Brief Answer:
Weight loss is best solution

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns. Following is my reply:

1. Overweight is the reason for your irregular periods. Irregular periods can only be regularised by losing weight.

2. Please have low calorie diet and exercise regularly to lose weight.

3. You are likely to be sufferingf from PCOS.

4. MRI is necessary for treating hyperprolactinemia as it will detect if there are any pituitary tumors. Treatment will differ then.

5. Dronis is needed only if you wish to regularise your periods temporarily till you lose weight.

I hope I clarified your doubt.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
