<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Hello, r/loseit! I'm a 22 yr old female, 5"2 175lbs. This is the heaviest I've ever been. Back in high school, I weighed 170 my sophomore year, worked my ass off and went down to 145lbs 2 years later. I then got on birth control to treat my PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian sydrome), met my boyfriend (who loves to take me out to eat) and *wham* gained the weight all over again.

I tried doing the same stuff I did back in high school which was eat light (granola for breakfast, nuts or fruit as a snack, no lunch and whatever my mom made for dinner.) I also rode my exercise bike a lot.

It hasn't been working for me.

I need help. I live with my parents and work a 8am-5pm job M-F. I joined Planet Fitness in August and lost 5lbs, but that keeps fluctuating. I can't get off the birth control. I have no choice but to eat what my mother makes, which on occasion she doesn't cook so I'm forced to eat ramen or some other sodium-laden dinner.
<bot>: I'm a 22 yr female with PCOS who weighs 175lbs and would like some tips on how to lose weight effectively.
