Hello, I can understand your concern for skin discoloration on back and stomach. You have not told us your age and sex along with related medical history so that I could have helped you better. There can be multiple causes of color changes including simple physiological reasons of age changes or tanning or due to genetic causes. Other than normal causes it can be also due to certain disease states such as Lichen amyloidosis or lichen plans pigments and related skin issues. I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and get a complete physical examination so that the most probable cause can be sorted out. Till that time please avoid direct sunlight so that more aggravation can be prevented. All the best.
