You can't do much for pigmentation of the skin on abdomen, thighs, and breast. It is a part of pregnancy. It may fade spontaneously but there is no active treatment.
For your exercises, it all depends how active you were before your pregnancy.
If it is normal delivery then you can start gradual exercises after 2 months.
If it is Caesarean you should start your exercises after 6 months.

Skin pigmentation will fade on its own but will take time.
You can start exercising after 6 weeks of normal delivery.
