Yes. For people with a BMI of 34 or less, a fat belly is regarded as an additional health risk. Fatty tissue which is stored around the stomach and abdomen (sometimes called intra-abdominal, or visceral fat) carries a greater health risk than fat located in the lower body around the butt and thighs. Some health studies show that abdominal fat leads to raised blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, high blood sugar, insulin resistance syndrome (metabolic syndrome X) and heart disease. Because of this, some experts believe that waist circumference and fat-distribution is more important than your actual weight in predicting future health risks.
What Causes a Fat Belly?
Where we store fat (surplus calories) is largely a combination of gender, age and genetic inheritance. Men tend to store fat around their middle (apple shape), whereas women typically store fat around the pelvic region, hips, butt and thighs (pear shape). However, women are prone to develop an apple shape in mid-life, after menopause. This is because the female hormones are present in smaller amounts and so their shape tends to become more 'male'.

Heya
I have tried diets, cutting things out. Yea, it works, and works quickly, but if you don't stick with it, it comes baaaaaack!
I have decided that I am cutting back on bad carbs, the white stuff. I need to work on the sugar stuff now!
I am eating more whole grains, fruits and veggies. I cut my portions down, and its actually working!
I haven't lost a lot of weight, but about 2 1/2 lbs in 2 weeks, so thats about normal.
I also started working out with Denise Austin. Her workouts don't kill ya, and I can tell a diff.
I have that stubborn belly flab, and I can see it slowly going away.
Just some ideas, good luck to you!
