Hello
I share your concern
Hormonal supplements is only medical treatment for cysts as the function of ovaries get compromised due to cyst.

Weight gain is a most common side effect of the hormonal pills
I would advise you to follow these guidelines
Have low calorie food and exercise regularly as much you can comfortably do
You should take lots of dietary fibers, fresh fruits and raw or steamed vegetables
You should avoid alcohol, fatty fried and junk food as well as chocolate and highly refined food

Hope this answers your question
Please do write back to me with all the relevant informations so that I will.be able to tell you more precisely.
Best wishes
