I’ve been put on Orlistat currently to help with weight loss. Doesn’t help with periods but for weight loss it’s great- if you follow it properly. Doctors awaiting my blood results before deciding if I should be put onto Metformin- but looks likely I’ll be on that.

Not sure if you've tried it but I'm only taking metformin right now and it's helping me with weight loss and regulating my period
