Rapid gain of neck fat with almost no weight gain?

Hey everyone. I hope you all are having a great week.

I'm new to the messageboard obviously and my username pretty much sums up what I'm thinking about this "anomaly". Over the past few months, I have accumulated a ton of excess fat/skin around my neck. It's basically left me with almost no jaw line definition and a double chin. I'm not trying to gross anyone out here but when I tuck my chin to my chest, it looks like a glob of loose skin. Almost like a pug dog in some ways but thicker and looser.

I've only gained about 5 pounds and am an otherwise reasonably fit looking guy although I've also noticed that my muscle definition isn't as good nor is the vascularity that I had. I turn 34 in about a month. 

Does anybody here have any clue what this is or what would cause it? It's almost like I lost skin elasticity and had muscle turn into fat/excess skin/atrophy.
