Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Perhaps you have Androgenetic alopecia which is characterised by gradual hair thinning and loss from the top, mid and vertex part of the scalp manifesting as decreased hair volume and receding hair line. Minoxidil and finasteride are US FDA approved remedies for Androgenetic alopecia in males. Dark neck folds are probably due to Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) characterized by dark velvety skin texture. Weight gain and insulin resistance have a role to play in AN. Weight loss would certainly help in clearing up the skin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
