it is normal to not get your period as late as age 16, however it is still possible that you have pcos. I was overweight as well and didn't start getting my period until i was 16, but it wasn't until i was 17 or 18 that male pattern hair on my abdomen appeared. I was 20 when i found out that i do indeed have PCOS. my suggestion to you is to see a doctor, even though you have not started your period yet. As scary as it may be, its better to be safe than sorry. I wish someone had told me to go to a doctor, because even when i did start my period, it was never regular (not every month) and i didnt see a doctor until years after the problem started and now its going to take a lot to heal my ovaries.(i still don't know if it has caused more serious conditions to occur, such as cervical cancer, infertility, or diabetes).
And in terms of the facial hair, i suggest waxing and/or bleaching as apposed to shaving. waxing lasts longer and shaving tends make the hair look thicker after a while.
Good luck to you, i hope everything works out.
