Will loosing weight help lower testosterone in women (i have pcos) ?

Possibly: losing weight may help you ovulate more regularly and this is the underlying problem with pcos. If you ovulate more regularly you tend to produce less testosterone. Likewise, not ovulating regularly (pcos) elevates your testosterone levels. So, yes, losing weight may help.

Yes. Fatty tissue : Converts estrogen to testosterone. Less fat = less testosterone
