Hi
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Delay in periods can be due to stress, overweight or low body weight, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or Thyroid problems etc. As per your age, it could be a sign of peri menopause also.

I advice you to 
1. Check I've hemoglobin levels
2. Thyroid function test.
3. Do YOGA & stress management
4. Nutritious diet rich in protein & iron
5. Exercise.
6. Watch for the next cycle & do a USG pelvis to rule out any serious causes. Consult a gynaecologist for further assistance if any.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
