Your Gynaecologist is right. You should go for an elective Caesarean.

LSCS is to be done because of considering all the other factors ,cord around neck,IUGR,and might be some other factors like your height,liquor,go for LSCS ,which should be Elective and planned,not emergency Caessarian.

Loops of cord really do not matter unless during the course of labour, there is drop in heart rate of baby or the baby is unable to descend.
Only for obstetric reasons should an lscs be performed.
But this is my opinion. The treating doctor is the one you should be listening to.as he or she is treating you.

The reason fr cesarean is less liquor n iugr
Not 2 loops of cord around the neck
Liquor is less that's a matter of concern
The weight of the baby though seems to be normal
2 loops of cord is not an indication for cesarean but yes needs constant fetal heart monitoring
