Ok, I am 4'14 inches and weigh about 100 pounds, I want to put on more weight but my problem is everytime i try to do this, the weight just settles on my tummy and no where else!! I eat healthy, do not eat fried foods, eat lean protein and complex carbs...like lean grilled chicken breasts and cold cuts on whole wheat etc , I do weight training for 4 days a week, and walk at a moderate pace for 1 hr everyday, try and do what I might, I am not able to put on the weight in the correct places except for the stomach area!!! I am kinda upset about this and this makes me avoid stuff like cheeses and pizzas as I am scared I might put on even more weight in the bely region!! does anyone have suggestions to gain weight in a healthy area and still maintain a good figure without it all going to the belly? please help and thanks in advance.

-Drink milk!! Milk prevents fat to get stored in the belly area.
-Swimming works also.
-Do sit ups and ab exercises.
-Don't jog too much. This makes you lose weight from all parts of the body. This is aerobic exercise and does not build muscle in the legs; it prevents you from gaining weight in the butt and thighs and legs. Aerobic exercises are ones that you do slowly like jogging. Sprinting, however, is an anaerobic exercise. It builds muscle.
-Do pull ups, surprisingly, this makes a really flat stomach. I do pull ups all the time and i have a 6 pack, all my weight goes to my hips and butt (which i am actually not happy with because i would rather it go to my chest :)

Join a gym and work under a pro who can design a program for you.
