Thank you for asking!
These symptoms are classic presentation of PCOS and they need a complete diet and lifestyle modification.
Lose weight. Sign up to a weight loss program approved by FDA.
Take ADA diet with low carbohydrates and regular exercise.
I suggest increased fiber; decreased refined carbohydrates, trans fats, and saturated fats; and increased omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids.Omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin D supplements also help.
Following medicines will help
Medications used in the management of PCOS include the following:
Oral contraceptive agents (eg, ethinyl estradiol, medroxyprogesterone)
Antiandrogens (eg, spironolactone, leuprolide, finasteride)
Hypoglycemic agents (eg, metformin, insulin)
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (eg, clomiphene citrate)
Topical hair-removal agents (eg, eflornithine)
Topical acne agents (eg, benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin topical cream (0.02–0.1%)/gel (0.01–0.1%)/solution (0.05%), adapalene topical cream (0.1%)/gel (0.1%, 0.3%)/solution (0.1%), erythromycin topical 2%, clindamycin topical 1%, sodium sulfacetamide topical 10%)

Consult with an endocrinologist for hormonal assessment and pituitary involvement.
