Hello.Welcome.Get yourself investigated for hypothyroidism and diabetes.since you are having PCOD also there are chances for you to develop diabetes in future.There is no pill which can reduce weight.And if somebody does advice you for the medicine then he is befooling you.For you best way is regular exercises along with controlled diet.Consult a dietician for the best results.Have patience weight reduction can't be achieved in short term.Good luck.
