Skinny Fat Tummy NO MATTER WHAT?!!?!

I do not understand eating disorders, @Gainsngrub, so I might not be the most qualified to offer advice to you, specifically, but I would suggest - as someone else did - that consistency will be your friend. And, not that it matters, but I think that you look great right now!

Wrong. His girlfriend is trying to explain to him why she thinks a pot belly is sexy. Common get with your fandom.

I think your too hard on yourself, I think you look great. Work on core, keep working out, and keep your nutrition in check. If its an issue it will come.

I don't think you're "skinny fat", I think you really are very nicely shaped. For the goals you mention, I'd second consistent weight training as your best bet, and I also think there may be something to that posture suggestion. It's not a matter of "sucking in your stomach", it's a question of the angle of your hips to your upper torso, how you hold your shoulders, and that sort of thing. Those relate both to habit, and to core strength.

Because your side photo is from a low angle and not full length, it's a little hard to tell, but it's possible that your pelvis is tilted a bit and your shoulders carried a bit forward, which will tend to give a bit more prominence to the belly area. Experiment with standing sideways to the mirror, drawing yourself up as if suspended from the crown of your head, shoulders down and back, hips under shoulders and pelvis somewhat more vertical, and see if that makes a difference. If so, working on core and posture may help you, in addition to the more consistent strength training.

You've accomplished a great deal, and really are very lovely. (Nothing creepy intended; I could be your granny. ). Continuing with athletic and body composition goals in a healthy way, working with your support team and other expert sources, will continue to carry you in a positive direction!

There is ZERO wrong with your body. In fact, it's adorable. If anything, work on posture and strengthening your core. I wouldn't worry about body fat or weight at this point.
