Hello and welcome to HCM,
Fungal infections are common in areas which remain moist.
Groin creases and crease under the breast are two common sites of fungal infection.
The skin in this area should be kept dry by proper drying.
The anti-fungal preparation should be applied after application of the anti-fungal ointment.
The presence of yellow colored discharge is suggestive of infection.
The discharge should be microscopically examined for presence of infection.
Appropriate antibiotic will treat the infection.
Presence of lumps in the thigh region could be due to lymph node enlargement which is common in case of infections.
Weight loss will not increase the bad body odour.

Thanks and take care
