Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Progyluton is a progesterone and never causes increase in weight, however, this is prescribed for dysfunctional uterine bleeding or for the treatment of irregular menstruation.

You are having irregular bleeding and gain of weight (increase in weight) and you want to reduce weight. For this avoid greasy, oily foods with sweets (sugar) and also do regular 40 minutes exercises (hard) 5 times in a week. Morning walk or evening walk or gym.

Some also advise orlistat 120 mg on an empty stomach for 6-12 months for weight reduction. Since this is a prescription drug so get a prescription from your doctor.

Irregular bleeding, weight gain may be due to polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) in this age group.

I recommend you please get in ultrasound of both ovaries (however this is one cause). Also get in ultrasound of uterus for an irregular bleeding reason. In my opinion, consult a gynecologist and get his opinion.

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

Regards,
Dr. Het Ram Bishnoi
