First of all I would you to target some weight loss if you are on heavier side.
This is called Obstructive sleep apnea.
Long term snoring can affect your other body systems like heart also.
There are different types of Nasal strips available in market at present but then don't work in practise.
There is a test called sleep study or polysomnograpghy which will tell you how severe is your snoring problem.
If it's severe then you can undergo surgery for it called Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
Next Steps

You should consult an ENT specialist, or better a sleep specialist (you may find one only in big cities). They may find the reason for your snoring.
