Red line on stomach from sitting

I get this long red vertical line when sitting down (rolls of fat pushing together)

Does this mean I have to much fat on my stomach? Or is this something that I shouldn't be thinking about?
Thanks :)

    Everybody gets those body crease marks when sitting down. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have too much fat. But it doesn't mean you don't have too much fat either.

    My sister gets that, she's a normal to slim weight. It can be caused by posture, clothing, or the shape of your body, and isn't a clear indicator of your size (I am considerably heavier and I don't get 'the line'.)

    It's better to go by how you look/feel, or maybe get your body fat % checked if you want.

    Lol, yes. I guess it would be hard to say if I have too much or not without seeing it.
    So even if I lose weight around my stomach I'll still get it?

    Wait, vertical? Mine are horizontal!

    Vertical? I have no idea.

    Horizontal, caused by skin folds from fat or poor posture or both.

    I get them, but they are horizontal. And I don't have much fat on my stomach area, it could just be from the way you're sitting.

    My crystal ball is in the shop for repairs so I can't tell you for sure but odds are you will have some sort of mark after sitting. Anytime there is pressure against your skin you get a mark. Haven't you ever had sock marks on your legs?

    The only time I ever have had a vertical red line on my stomach was when I was pregnant. And I have all kinds of rolls when I sit.

    I think the fact that you are talking about "rolls of fat" is more of an indication.
