Brief Answer:
PCOS likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Hair thinning and loss, irregular periods and obesity are the signs of PCOS.
You can get an ultrasound of pelvis, serum free testosterone levels and serum DHEAS levels to confirm the diagnosis of PCOS.
If there, then proper treatment and weight loss measures should be adopted.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
