dear user obesity particularly abdominal obesity is a common symptom of pcos. Various studies have shown that metformin in addition to regulating periods, helps to reduce weight in PCOS. It is most effective when combined with healthy diet and exercise. Sadly there is no other medicine available which can help to reduce fat specially belly fat. Some of the anti- obesity drugs have been banned by the FDA for serious side effects. So I would suggest you to go natural- eat healthy, think healthy (yoga and meditation) exercise regularly. Best of luck.

Hi Aana,
Thanks for writing in.
As per information given by you,my suggestions would be as follows;
1)your strategies to reduce belly fat should be based on improving insulin sensitivity and lowering body fat level.
2) eat fresh,wholesome food. Include unprocessed food,complete protein and food containing ALA(alpha lipoic acid) eg .walnut,flaxseeds,peas n green veggies in your diet.
3) regular workouts are absolutely important. Include cardio,weight training and yoga in your daily routine.
Hope this will.help.
All the best..
