The answer is definitely yes. Quite often overweight is considered to be a leading cause for infertility and doctors will recommend going on a diet before trying any other medical treatment. The reason, as far as I know, is because fatty tissue causes hormonal changes (increased production of estrogen) that may affect ovulation negatively. You can also read about PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). It's a condition associated with overweight and lack of ovulation.
