I am suffering from obesity and hormonal problem both at the same time. My age is 13 years height 5 ft and weight 63 kg. My lower back and thigh pain sometimes. I got my first periods 1.5 years ago. Then after 3 months I got my second period. And whenever my periods comes it continues till the 12th or sometimes till 15th day even after taking medicines like sylate which stops bleeding. This happens on every period and also my period gets delay for 3 to 5 months. I consulted a gynaecologist for this purpose. She suggested me Triquilar (levonorgestrel & Ethinylestradiol tab) it is a pack of 21 tablets which she said to take 1 tablet a day sequence wise. Whenever I take this tablet and complete a dost of 21 days. I continues this medicine for 3 months. Everything gets fine, my periods come on time when I take these but when I don't everything becomes worse as previously. A doctor suggested me to consult an endocrinologist and said that your increase is weight is also related to hormones. I gone through T3 T4 Tsh insulin checked which is 26.9 while the upper limit is 27.

You are too young for taking medicines. TSH is high, which shows you have hypothyroidism that leads to weight increase. Also get PCOD checked. In general please avoid packed foods like bread, sandwich, burger, pizza, biscuits, chocolates, noodles, salty snacks, ice-cream, colas, packed juices etc. Have good quantity of fruits and vegetables daily. This will help in weight reduction.
