You are basically having 2 issues
1) anemia : start on iron+fa tablet which IS PROVIDED BY GOVT OF INDIA (60mg elemental iron + 500 mcg folic acid combination ) you will get it FREE OF COST . Take this tablet once weekly for entire life untill and unless you are pregnant because untill menopause you are gonna bleed so anemia can continue so u need to take it for long time ...once weekly tab .
2) irregular periods : get UPT done and if comes out to be negative : must consult an OBG doc for evaluation of irregular periods

First she needs treatment for her irregular periods.
Get her thyroid profile checked T3,T4 and TSH .
Capsule ferrous ascorbate 100 mg + folic acid 1.5 mg daily one capsule for a month .
Add iron rich food to your diet.
See anemia is not only because of iron deficiency so please show the report
