Using vicks vaporub for extended periods is not safe as it can irritate the delicate mucosa of the nose and throat and cause further symptoms of cold. It is best to do plain steam inhalation and warm saline gargle for cold and cough symptoms.

If the problem is chronic, please investigate thoroughly. If there is no anatomical problem, there are few ayurved panchkarma treatments to help you with chronic cold. Regarding overweight- one has to be consistent in work out and reduction in diet while balancing nutrition. Walk is the best form of successful results in weight loss. Walk for minimum 60 min and reduce oily, fried, sweet and high carbohydrates in food. Small meals and early dinner. Good luck.
