Pigmentation or darkness of the skin can be because of many causes. Suntan, being overweight that is sedentary lifestyle, some pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans for melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. unless I take proper history and examine the affected area, a diagnosis cannot be made. please don't do any home remedies because if they go wrong it can worsen the problem. Please send photos using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment

Its possible to achieve your basic color back and maintain a flawless glowing skin by taking a skin brightening treatment regimen for 6-8 months, consisting of-
-sunscreens
-skin lightening creams
-antioxidants and multivitamins
-external treatments like peels.
- Q-switch laser
- Oxy Facial, photofacial or skin brightening medical facials.
After this you will have to maintain the results by application of sunscreen and moisturisers daily.
A combination of all these treatments help you in achieving lightening of the pigment. Stick to the treatment for 8-10 months and take optimum sessions as advised by the dermatologist.

Seems like choalasma( in pregnancy) or melasma and its completely hormone related so it might appear again and goes back on its own.
Next Steps
As its hormone related, Their appearance is quite unpredictable so better to take combination treatment of oral medication, topical application and clinic treatment.
Health Tips
As it can also increase with sun exposure so sun protection and for further workup, contact me on practo for teleconsultation
