It does sound like your dog has intestinal worms if he's eating his poop all the time and he's not gaining weight. He will need a deworming treatment, I recommend Panacur. You can find it online and in pet stores. He will need two courses of treatment two weeks apart, and then will need a treatment every three months to prevent worms from coming back. It this doesn't help his symptoms, then you will need to find the closest vet to you to see him.
