One of the common places of excess fat deposition is nape of neck, as part of obesity.
Do not do serum cortisol on your own because certain precautions need to be followed as random cortisol is not diagnostic.
Consult nearest DM or DNB endocrinologist doctor.

Hi. It could be due to hormonal imbalance or a abnormal fat deposition. You should consult a doctor physically and get investigated if required.
