HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Losing weight would help with the PCOS, that is part of the recommended treatment.
It helps to regularize periods and improve the chance of conception.
It can sometimes be difficult to lose weight on your own, if this is the case for you then you may need to see a weight loss doctor or enlist in an online or community program.
Metformin also helps with PCOS . Medication such as clomid can help to improve ovulation.
I hope this helps
