I was just curious about these lines on my stomach... I mean kind of looks like abs but I doubt it since I'm 5'5 and 213 lbs.

    Well... That's where your ab separation could be. Even when bigger I had vague lines where my abs would be - it could also be a horizontal crease from sitting and a vertical crease from being pulled in slightly by your bra?

    It's the muscles underneath.

    You're 5'5 @ 213lbs??? You carry your weight well... you look great!

    As for the lines I'd say it's the abs also.

    I was thinking the same thing! OP you certainly don't look like you weigh 213lbs.

    Thanks everyone! I just thought cause I'm heavier that it wouldn't be abs but I guess they might be haha and thank you but I actually am 213 lbs, I have muscular legs from dancing for 8 years when I was younger but other than that I didn't think I had much muscle.

    Agree! You wear your weight well and probably have a high muscle mass. Also, you appear to be a pear, so the majority of your weight is below the belly button. Makes the upper abs easier to see.

    You look good for 213. I would not consider that the start of ab definition though.
