Hello,
First of all make sure that your thyroid levels are controlled immaculately,because if thyroid remains uncontrolled,all your efforts to reduce weight will go down the drain.
For weight loss,you should adopt healthy eating and do regular aerobic exercises for at least 45- 60 minutes a day.
Healthy eating means avoiding deep fried foods,sweets,saturated fats,junk foods like pizzas,burgers etc and colas.Take more of green vegetables and fresh fruits.
You may start taking tablet METFORMIN 500 mg twice a day for at least 6 months under the guidance and consultation of your treating doctor.
METFORMIN helps in reducing insulin resistance and weight also.
Thanks

Hello
Welcome to HCM
When both conditions such as thyroid dysfunction and PCO are together the effect is seen on the body weight and there is an increase in the BMI (body mass index)
Active weight management can be done by taking care on the diet , increase in protein intake and lower carbohydrates and fat consumption will be of great help.
Also increasing the body metabolic rate by some activity each day as walking, yoga, swimming or cycling will help you loose a few kilograms effectively
Hope to have answered your query
