Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
You might have absent cycles due to lactation and due to the weight gain.
Get your thyroid levels checked and rule out PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome.
There are no herbal medications safe during lactation or otherwise.
Only dedicated exercise and a tailored calorie restricted diet will help you achieve weight loss.
All the best
