You will have to research it starting at the farthest point. Take apart the aerator on the faucet and see if the pressure goes up when it is removed. If no difference, go downline, closer to the tank, sometimes the valve coming off the water tank for the hot side comes apart inside, if it's a washer style valve. Other than those sugggestions, we will need more info to diagnose anymore.

OH, BOY! where to start.
if your water heater was made between 1990-1995, it may be the DIP TUBE. not installed mind you, but the date of manufacture.
all the manufacturers in those years were outsourcing the DIP TUBES to China. they were supposed to be a certain type of PVC, but what they got was some cheap crap.
no one knew about this problem for a few years.
hard to believe, but I was the first one to figure out what the problem was.
i had had the repairman in more than 3 times in a 2 month period. he finally took the cover off and pulled out what was left of my "PVC" dip tube.
they should be about 3-4 feet long. mine was about 3 inches long! it was disintegrating into the water heater therefore clogging up the hot water lines in my house.
he contacted the manufacturer and all hell broke loose!
over 4 million water heaters were recalled! it made national news.
they paid me for a new water heater, all plumbing bills that had accrued and paid me an extra $500.
take off the aerators on all your sinks. see if you see a bunch of hard white, gray or black flecks. if you do, call the repairman and tell him to check the DIP TUBE

Seems like a leaking hot water line to me. Are you living in a stick built home, on a slab or in a mobile home.
