Brief Answer:
Tobacco chewing seems to be the culprit. Clinical evaluation needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Apart from the information about chewing gum and tobacco you have not provided answers to rest of my questions. I have checked the attached image. Well, I could insert much more than 2 fingers in the cavity but that is not the point. I understand that you are feeling a limitation in the flexibility of of your mouth opening. You have already pointed to the culprit - chewing tobacco. You need to understand the hazards of chewing tobacco. It is one of the most important causes behind getting oral cancer. I would insist you to visit a surgeon and to get a further evaluation done.
