One of the most frustrating issues with having pectus excavatum and a sunken chest is having a pot belly like appearance. This is not happening because you are overweight and even skinny people with PE had the tendency to have a pot belly appearance.
This is mainly due to the sunken sternum pushing down on the top of the stomach and forcing it to bulge forward , what I suggest is to buy a posture brace that helps to bring back the shoulders while at the same time suck in your gut , which helps greatly for improving flared ribs and bringing them back into a more neutral position.
Apart from that weight loss can definitely help and I have become a huge fan of using cinnamon in my protein shakes to boost my weight loss and it seems to working quite well so far, check out the link for more information
