My 2 year old indoor cat is suddenly balding

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed my cat to have several hairballs lined up on both sides in front of his front legs.  Now in the spots where they were, he is bald.  What should I do?

Food allergies, fleas allergy dermatitis, scabies and other mites are all culprit's for hair loss.  Please have your cat examined by a vet.  Thanks
