Brief Answer:
Weight loss would help
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns about delayed periods.
Delayed periods in your case are due to increased weight. Losing weight is best way to bring back periods.
To my patients I give progesterone hormone like meprate 10 mg per day for 5 days which will bring periods. You can try the same.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
