Hello
I understand your concern.

The cause of delay in periods for more than 2 months can be as a result of thyroid disorders/polycystic ovary syndrome/obesity/infection in genitourinary tract.It is not due to lemon water.

It needs evaluation through certain investigations.Investigations advised are blood haemogram,thyroid tests,USG abdo pelvis.
The treatment depends on the underlying cause.If it is due to hormonal imbalance,you may be given hormonal contraceptives for 3-6 months.
You need to take consultation of gynaecologist in this regard.
Take healthy diet and keep your weight in control by regular exercising.

Hope this information helps.
Feel free to ask any more query.
