Firstly you have to go and meet a gynecologist stating your problems that your menstrual cycle is irregular and you are trying to loose weight but n results. The doctor will run an examination and other needed test and if in need will start medications. Along with medication proper diet and exercise will help you to loose weight.
Mainly a complex carbs,high fiber low fat diet to be followed with proper exercise.
Foods To Add
High-fiber vegetables, such as broccoli.
Lean protein, such as fish.
Anti-inflammatory foods and spices, such as turmeric and tomatoes.
High-fiber foods can help combat insulin resistance by slowing down digestion and reducing the impact of sugar on the blood. This may be beneficial to women with PCOS. Great options for high-fiber foods include:

cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts
greens, including red leaf lettuce and arugula
green and red peppers
beans and lentils
almonds
berries
sweet potatoes
winter squash
pumpkin
Lean protein sources like tofu, chicken, and fish don’t provide fiber but are very filling and a healthy dietary option for women with PCOS.

Foods that help reduce inflammation may also be beneficial. They include:

tomatoes
kale
spinach
almonds and walnuts
olive oil
fruits, such as blueberries and strawberries
fatty fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and sardines
FOODS TO AVOID

Which foods should I limit or avoid?
Foods To Avoid
Foods high in refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and muffins.
Sugary snacks and drinks.
Inflammatory foods, such as processed and red meats.
Refined carbohydrates cause inflammation, exacerbate insulin resistance, and should be avoided. These include highly processed foods, such as:

white bread
muffins
breakfast pastries
sugary desserts
white potatoes
anything made with white flour
Pasta noodles that list semolina, durum flour, or durum wheat flour as their first ingredient are high in carbohydrates and low in fiber. These should be removed from the diet. Pastas made from bean or lentil flour instead of wheat flour are an excellent alternative.

Sugar is a carbohydrate and should be avoided wherever possible. When reading food labels, be sure to look for sugar’s various names. These include sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, and dextrose. Sugar can also lurk in the things you drink, such as soda and juice.

It’s a good idea to reduce or remove inflammation-causing foods, such as french fries, margarine, and red or processed meats from your diet as well.
