Hi,
After delivery this problem is common but in your case as you are over weight thyroid should be ruled out, because hair loss is very common in hypothyroid.
Go for hemoglobin estimation as anemia is another commonest cause of having hair loss.
consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
