    It isn't going to be easy with that disorder. I read that trans fats are one suspected cause, so was your diet a lot of processed foods? Are you able to get lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and beans, and not too much heavy protein? Plain chicken, fish, eggs. No fried anything, no burgers, no pizza, no sweets, no white bread. Not too much pasta and potatoes. (I can see you aren't in the US but don't know where you are, so don't know what foods you usually encounter.)
    Yoga can be gently or strenuous. For losing weight, you need strenuous exercise.

    Anyone with polycystic ovarian syndrome should check out SoulCysters.com: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment & Resources. They have tons of info there.

    Very often women with PCOS are insulin resistant. That means that the best type of diet would be very low in carbs and high in protein.
