weight issues

Before having been formally diagnosed with PCOS by my endocrinologist, I had suspected I'd had it for several years.
I had all of the characteristic symptoms : hair loss, hirsutism, weight problems, acne, irregular/ absent menses, etc.

Over the course of the last two years or so, I've lost over 50lbs through dieting and exercise. It was not a regimen from my doctor, but something I myself took on. I have been taking 50mg Spironolactone for almost a year, and my dose was increased from once to twice a day about 6 months ago.
I was also taking a generic birth control pill called Ocella. I have not been able to afford it, so I stopped taking it several months ago.

My symptoms, however, have hardly changed. I do experience less acne and my periods have become mostly regular, but everything else is the same. Should I go back to the doctor? Am I doing something wrong, other than quitting the contraceptive?

Should it be like this even with continued and significant weight loss?

Re: weight issues

if you dont mind me asking, what regimen did you use to lose 50lbs? I have been suffering with this problem since I was 14 years old. I just want to lose weight and be happy again.
