How much does obesity affect the ability to get pregnant?

what’s the point asked:
I’m overweitght but want to have a baby. Of course I am trying to lose weight before getting pregnant because I don’t want to develop gestational diabetes or put myself or the baby in danger.
My doctor has told me that I can’t get pregnant just because of the weight (because it’s causing me to have irregular periods) but I see heavy women who are pregnant all the time. Surely they can’t all be having irregular cycles.
How much of it is the weight and how much of it is my period coming whenever it feels like it?
