Hi!
Maybe some reflux from the stomach is causing the deposit and consequent bad breath.

Firstly attach some clear photographs of the effected area. Might be you need some cleaning of tooth. And detailed history is needed. Keep an eye on your digestive system also.
Brush twice a day. Brush before going to sleep is mandatory. Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day. Use mouthwash daily.
Consult doctor online or offline for better treatment plan.
Drink a lots of water.

Dear Patient
Your bad breath may or may not be due to that white deposit. You said you brush twice a day and scrape your tongue too. Still you have bad breath
So to be sure ,you should get a dental check up done..
