Talk to Pediatric MD: Many Pediatricians continue to see adolescents through the 14 year old age bracket. However, a GYN MD who sees 14 year olds is an alternative choice to discuss PCOS with him/her. Weight gain with PCOS is common and increases the risk for insulin insensitivity (Diabetes) later in life. As a mother, you are the Captain of your 14 year old daughter's health, so "start sailing that ship".
