Short answer irregular periods are very common at you age and yes being overweight or underweight does cause irregularity. I am not a Dr. However I am an overweight woman and when I was your age and even now at 30 after having a child I'm still irregular. All this being said its a good idea to be checked out because it could be a hormonal imbalance or poloycystic ovarian disease or even something serious. More than likely its nothing to worry about. You can always take birth control to regulate it of it bothers you as well.
