My entire life, I have had a really fat belly, but I've been totally normal everywhere else (I'd probably wear a size 4 pants, but I have to buy size 8 because of the waist). My friends jokingly call it "the wonder" because they can never believe it when they see it. I am 25, and just starting to wonder, what's up with that? There is nothing medically wrong with me, because I've always been like this, but I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts.

high cortisol (produced from adrenals and pituitary) make belly fat, also high insulin/ insulin resistance and diabetes can cause trunkal obeisity with thin arms/legs, etc. Get blood tests for hormone levels and especially for cortisol and insulin (glucocorticoids). There is also a diet pill on the market for women with fat stomach. Can't remember the name of it, but it targets high cortisol levels- may be relacore.

i hope someone has the right answer for you because i dont know, but i have the exact same problem. i fit in the size pants im supposed to though. i dont get it....the rest of me is thin....but then i have my little belly...there is no medical reason for it, and im not pregnant, so i dont get it. women are supposed to carry their weight on their hips and thighs, but all mine seems to be in my stomach area. luckly summer is coming up and ill be able to be outside more and work some of it off! ive also noticed that giving up soda helps a bit, so i try to drink as little soda as possible.
