I don't think that he's speaking so much of balance in terms of social equality, but more in terms of "a stalemate". He describes men and women as "two worlds". I think this is hearkening back to the metaphor of Mars and Venus, and being unable to understand each other.
Additionally, he's talking about wanting her more even as she wants him less, which seems to me a very puerile (but common) thing that people do: they abuse or take for granted what they have and only begin to truly desire it once it is taken away from them.
Overall, he is losing the affections of his mate and doesn't understand her enough to get them back. It sucks, but he probably painted himself into that corner.
I don't see anything relating to weight gain, but I suppose that everyone interprets lyrics differently.
