There is a chance that the heavy workouts increase your appetite and cause weight gain.. (I am not taking PCOS into account ... It's not my field of expertise as such ) if that is the case than continue the strength training and cardio training.. your body will eventually start learning to regulate food intake... Also add calorie diary on a daily basis atleast for 3 months... The only best proven method to lose weight is calorie deficit ...not just exercise or working out
