Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
Ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel containing pill can be taken as contraceptive pill. But every combined pill have some form of side effect like weight gain, spotting, nausea etc. Barrier method is safe and without side effects. If you want to continue contraceptive pill than exercise and life style changes should be done to reduce weight.
I suggest you to consult gynecologist for examination.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
