Yeast infection: Certainly, yeasts and fungal infections occur and grow more rapidly in wet/moist areas, so being overweight and sweating more often is a risk factor. Staying dry, using powders, etc. can help. Ultimately a good structured weight loss program will help, but certainly now, there are many medication, some Rx strength that can help cure the yeast infection. best wishes.
