You are only mild overweight (calculated BMI less than 26) and I do not think the missed periods caused by PCOS at your age. You may head to perimenopause, especially if your mom or old sister(s) experienced early menopause or your menarche occurred early than the average age.

Visit this site to calculate your BMI.https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm You are overweight. Losing weight will help but by itself may not be complete treatment for PCOS. You need to consult a gynecologist as you may need medication also. Wish you good health!
