Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. You have hypothyroidism which tends to cause increased body weight...which favors irregular periods ( PCOD ). Reduction of weight is a natural thing which helps recovery from PCOD. For reduction of weight - - The medicine Thyroxine 75 mg would reduce TSH levels & your body weight too.Take it as advised.Your gynecologist may advise Glyciphage pill if needful. - Diet control for your ideal weight maintenance ( more of proteins, vitamins & minerals , high fibers & lot of water - as advised by dietitian . - Regular daily exercise ( Running/ jogging / swimming/ aerobic exercises) & yoga exercises for at least 45 minutes daily.( take advise of a physical trainer) - Mind concentration exercises & positive thinking - sound sleep only for 6-8 hours in a day * A persistent effort would remove all of your problems in 6-8 months. Thanks
