Most likely: Not sure why you had so much weight but change in weight changes hormone levels. Fat stores estrogen and weight loss decreases estrogen but if you have pcos you may need progesterone. You need to have your levels checked or speak with gyne who will recommend birth control or progesterone. Get thyroid checked as well.

See a Doctor: That large amount of weight loss (especially without trying) should be fully worked up by a physician.
