So I'm a teenager. 13. And I've heard that you're supposed to gain weight as you get older. I'm fine with my weight, (103 lbs, 5 ft 4in). But I have a huge stomach. It seems like all the fat goes to my stomach! So should I lose weight? Or is it a natural part of growing up? Will it go away?

At 103 pounds, are you really fat? Pinch the skin on your stomach, near you belly button. Can you grab skin more than 3/4 inch? That is a measure of whether you really have excess fat, or just your body growing normally. Sometimes young girls get a little tummy bulge as they grow, not from fat but from your reproductive organs developing.
If you have never been active before, your body doesn't have much muscle. That means any excess weight is fat. Even if you're thin, that extra fat can add up to a pudgy tummy.
If you don’t exercise already, just start by walking, running, or biking. Work up to 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes. Even that will build muscle, giving you a healthier body.

You will gain weight but thats ok because your going to develope more (hips, breasts) and you will also get taller so as long as you are not gaining too much weight you will fine and as for when you get older it depends on the way you eat and if you exercise. I graduated a couple of years ago and you wouldn't believe the number of girls in high school that used to be skinny or normal that are very overweight now.

You don't weigh enough to start losing weight...just try doing some sit-ups...maybe your muscles are just slack but don't lose any weight at your age and weight!

well pretty pink, i think you should. young guys at your age prefer young girls to be sexy and hot. when your are going to atart lose weight starting now, it is not hard for you to lose weight. your still young to have such a big atomach... and if you want it start losing weight by next year it probably hard already because more fats will deposit on your stomach as time pass.
take my advice and guys will attracted to you from head to foot.

i think you should just try to do some exercises that target your stomach..because it sounds like you don't need to lose any weight!

It could just be the kinds of foods you eat, or maybe you eat too much at one time. Try to eat smaller meals, and have them more often in the day. And stay away from fried foods and greasy foods that will make you get bloated.
