hi nakul palak.welcome to healthcaremagic forum.the information given by you point towards you are suffering from metabolic syndrome. bigomet is metformin, which is used to decrease insulin resistance (basic problem in this disease - inspite of high insulin level, they are not fully active.increased level required for desired effect). metformine does help in reduction of weight, which is good sign for improvement in disease profile.now your weight is almost ok.depend on height also.contact your treating doctor regarding stopping of drug or further management.one thing is certain-keep exercising.good luck.
