Stretch marks?

Does anyone have an explanation as to why I continue to gain stretch marks on my stomach when I am neither gaining nor losing weight rapidly? I eat under my calories nearly every day and I’m slowly losing weight, I haven’t had any massive spikes in weight in the past few months. So I’m just not sure why my stretch marks are consistently getting even worse

    Are your pants too tight?

    Yes, growth spurts can cause them.
    Sometimes stretch marks become more visible when you lose weight.
    Occasionally they're from steroid medications, or Cushing's disease. But you'd have other symptoms too.

    No? Why would they be?

    I definitely haven’t had a growth spurt but thank you, they’re probably just becoming more visible because of the weight I’m losing even if slowly

    I got stretch marks on my hips at around 17 - 18. I'm 31 now and they've long since faded :) Some body oils and creams can help them fade faster I believe.
