HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The hardening is likely due to scarring/fibrosis of the skin in this area. It is a reaction that occur in these areas.
There may also be lymphedema. This is swelling and build up of fluids due to blockage of the lymph vessels.
As you lose weight some of this may improve.
I hope this helps

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for asking your question.
I would like to tell you that your only problem seems to be obesity, so you need to reduce your weight as early as possible, because obesity can lead to several chronic and severe disorders like diabetes, hypertension, chronic lung disorders, etc.
If you loose your weight and maintain your BMR, then most of your problems will go away. I would also recommend you to go for body check up including lipid profile, liver profile, kidney profile, blood sugar, CBC, chest xray and ECG. I would also suggest you to have few life style modifications like take small and frequent meal, avoid oily and junk food, eat green leafy vegetables, fruits and high fiber diet, do regular walking of at least 20 minutes a day, do regular meditations to be stress free, have a sound sleep of at least 6 to 8 hours, you can take help of gym trainer and dietician, etc.
Hope this answers your question and let me know if you have any further relevant questions.
