I'm female, about 5"4 and 110 pounds. My arms and legs are really skinny but my belly sticks out a lot, further than my boobs sometimes it makes me look pregnant. Is this just where I store all my fat or am I just permanently bloated?
If it's fat that sucks because I can't lose weight without my bmi becoming underweight.
If it's bloat does anyone know how to reduce it?
I just wanna be able to wear crop tops this summer without having to constantly suck it in

    Try playing around with your diet. It could be that you have a genuine food sensitivity causing bloat and inflammation.

    It may also be worth discussing with your doctor if it is protruding the way you described

    If you want to change your body shape, take up progressive weight training. :mrgreen:

    Are you certain you aren't pregnant?

    If it's not bloat, then it's possible that you have the "apple" body shape, meaning your body likes to store fat in that area.

    I feel you about how much it sucks. I have the "pear" body shape, and even when I was borderline underweight I still had fat thighs. =/

    You are undermuscled. It's pretty common for very thin people with little muscle to look like that.
