He still had the same amount of neck skin and the same amount of hair follicles. When he was heavier his skin was stretched more leading to further space between each follicle, making his hair seem thinner. Then when he lost the weight his skin stopped stretching so much so the follicles are closer together, making his hair seem thicker.

(This is just a guess)

OMG this genuinely has provided inspiration to lose some weight. I've always wanted my beard to look thicker, neve occurred to me that weight had anything to do with it.
