Building up a top line

My gelding was a fatty when I got him. He has been on a diet and exercise regime since. But he is losing weight in all the wrong places. He lost his top line, his rump and his neck, but his gut is still huge. Is there something I can do to add muscle to these places?

If you have no hills where you can long trot up, just long trot and really get your horse to use his hind end by using really your seat to push him.

We have been doing a lot of trotting in the ring. Unfortunately I hurt my knee yesterday dismounting. How, I have NO idea. Somehow the toe of my boot got tangled in the stirrup, again don't ask me how, and my knee popped. Now it's all swollen and it hurts. I tried trotting today, and well, yeah it's going to be a few days on that. But thanks for the input :)
