Recomp question

Does a recomp change your body shape forever or does it eventually go back to the way it was if you start slacking?

Let's say for example through recomp and weight loss I achieved a flat belly when I always had a rounded one. Say I now leave the gym and stop exercising, but I DO NOT regain the weight, will I get back the rounded belly or keep the flat (and slightly fluffy after a good while without exercise) one?

eta: and yes, it's me with my ghost (deactivated) account again, yet I'm still here.

Also this is just for curiosities sake...

    Your rounded belly was round due to excess body fat. If you lose that fat and thus end up with a flat belly, it'll stay flat until you gain the weight back or have a significant shift in body composition.

    You're young so you have more slack. The older you get, the harder it is to maintain fitness.

    So if you take a few days off or even a week you wouldn't notice a difference, if that is what you are getting at.
