Hey everyone, I had a c-section about 4 months ago and was left with that dreaded overhang. While it has gotten smaller, I was wondering if it's skin, or is it actually fat? When I pinch it I can feel that weird bead like fat feeling behind it, but can pinch a veryyy thin layer of skin away. The rest just feels like I'm grabbing my flabby arm lol. If I work hard enough, can I lose this? Here are some pictures:

    my belly looked exactly like that and it was both loose skin and fat. you can lose most of it, most by losing fat and some of the skin will shrink over time. just cut some calories, and it couldn't hurt to start doing a little weight training. you won't bulk up, but a little extra muscle will help you burn a few more calories and you'll look firmer.

    Most of the time it is fat.
