    Definitely my lower tummy area...I get the pouch haha and love handles. It's so annoying because when I gain a lot of weight I feel like I can't just wear a simple t-shirt because my stomach looks horrible under it!

    My weight is always predominantly in my tummy to the point where I look pregnant. Now, yes, I gain weight all over, but the bulk of it is belly. Is that a shorty thing? Or do you gain your weight elsewhere?
    Where you gain has more to do with body shape than height.

    I'm a 5'3" hourglass and I gain pretty evenly everywhere.

    Thighs and gut is the last to go and first to gain. Boobs always the first to go.

    5'3 I gain weight in my arms, thighs, belly and butt. I already have a big back side, but it gets really huge when I gain weight.

    I think its more of a body type thing. for example, im not short ( 5"5) but i also gain in my tummy. I have never been overweight or anything but when i was not working out any weight i gained was in my lower stomach and boobs . thoes are really the only places i gain fat the most

    5'1 here I hold most of my weight in my hips, butt and thighs. But I've recently started gaining in my stomach probably because my bottom is so big!
