You need to take high fiber low fat diet followed by detox diet. Drink lot of water everyday. Take small and frequent meals at regular intervals. Avoid outside food completely. Do crunches and pushups daily to reduce belly fat. Please visit my profile for more information and diet plan for you.

The medicine you are taking contains metformin which helps in reducing insulin resistance, but does not really help in reducing excess facial hair growth. You need to consult your dermatologist again regarding this. Laser hair removal is the only solution for permanently reducing hair growth in case of PCOS.
