Most women with pcos aren't athletes (or obese, I'm assuming). It's an important distinction to make, since athletes have different physical responses from non-athletes. Not necessarily because of 'weight' but because the bodies of athletes function differently because of their training.
When you read (good) research studies on exercise and diet, the researchers will typically make the distinction as to whether or not the study participants are previously sedentary or athletes (or somewhere in between). The conditioning of the participants makes a difference.
The conditioning of women with pcos, also makes a difference. Women with pcos shouldn't simply be encouraged to 'lose weight'. They should be encouraged to improve their physical condition overall.

It's not.
Lifestyle habits matter more than weight. (generally speaking)
