Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic,
After going through your history,you have basically two issues first one is weight gain, but you have not mentioned about your weight and height.
The other problem of skin discoloration in chest according to your history it may be a fungal infection or depigmentation disorder like Vitiligo.
You should visit a Physician and Dermatologist to get examined and investigated by Complete blood count,Thyroid function, if required fungal scrapings.
You should take care of your diet and exercise to maintain weight and if anything is detected can be treated accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
