Looking for friends who are skinny fat who are trying to lose fat and put on lean muscle. Not necessarily bulk or cut but maintenance. Must be diet conscious and motivated.

I was skinny fat - making the changes to be stronger, one day at a time. Progressive lifting on a formal training plan, resting appropriately and eating the right amount of protein. That’s my two month progress photo.
ETA: 2-3 lbs heavier in the right photo

What’s the criteria for skinny fat? Is that being under weight with a high % of body fat?1

Skinny fat is normal bmi but overweight bf% so 30% for women. @sofchak was definitely not skinny fat . Most people who claim to be skinyfat are not even close to technically being skinnyfat.14

What’s the criteria for skinny fat? Is that being under weight with a high % of body fat?How is this even possible? I never understood this skinny fat. Skinny unfit, yes for sure. But skinny fat? Nope.
It's quite possible (PubMed link).
"Skinny fat" is also known as "normal weight obesity" or "MONW" (metabolically obese, normal weight). It defines a person who is at a healthy/normal weight but has a high body fat percentage and thus, is prone to the same health issues as an obese person. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) defines "obese" as being at/over 26% bodyfat for men and at/over 32% bodyfat for women, according to this article.6 -
I'm pretty sure I am. At 5 ft 3 and 130lbs I am well within a healthy BMI but calipers put me at around 29-30% bodyfat. I would like to be 25%.

Strength and weight training! I do aerial silks and that is how I tone up. I prefer fun exercises that use my own body weight as resistance instead of free weights at the gym.0
