    A few others have mentioned this too. They say it evens out eventually. Its progress.

    Maybe you have an unbalanced diet.

    Sadly we can't control where the fat goes from and where it stays at. I lose from the top down. And also the left side of my body is less lumpy than the right. So I feel your pain. Eventually it will catch up!

    Everything will eventually even out, unless you are using one side of your body WAY more than the other.

    I've never heard of this! Sorry, I do think it's very interesting though. Yes it should even out, but I wouldn't rule out that it might be caused by posture or muscle imbalances. For example if you carry a heavy bag on one side, you might lean more to one side giving the appearance of rolls. Or in my case I noticed, before starting strength training, that my glutes are a little more developed on one side so half of my butt looks slightly bigger than the other. Just a thought.

    Hole the camera in the other hand. Now where do you see the rolls? I know, no need to thank me.

    Especially on the back, it can also be a sign of a high hip stature.

    High hip can be because you have unequal legs, or because you have muscle imbalance and it is being tilted forward on that side and/or pulled up.

    Just comments from PT assessment.
