Running isn't the only way to lose weight/keep weight off. I do feel you're at an overuse situation. You indicated you haven't had this type of pain before. I assume you've tried RICE. Mileage seems high for conditioning - but not if you are a marathoner - you can try crosstraining - particularly aerobic rowing (if you have access) or swimming (we're not into summer) - and see if that doesn't help. Sounds too high to be a hammy, but it could be - it could also be in the glute - sounds like overuse (tendinopathy) - and I wouldn't rule out you've picked up some biomechanical abnormalities. Back off the mileage for a couple of weeks and/or get your gait analyzed to rule out the obvious stuff. After that, you can progress to the sports medicine/MRI, medication and potentially surgical route. ETA: Perhaps add some hip flexor stretches - I'm not a big stretching advocate, but if you're having trouble with the larger muscle groups - (lack of) flexibility is often a factor.
Much common sense in this post.
I would also add that if the OP is a larger runner, he will have to change shoes more often.
