fat but skinny

i have always been skinny except for around my stomach. that area has probably most of the fat on my body. everywhere else: my forearms, chest, legs, etc. have very little fat. does anybody else have this or know what's going on?

its called "skinny fat" just drop your body fat % and your belly fat should go around. Remember..you can NOT spot reduce fat!

I've also heard that being "skinny fat" usually means you have an elevated metabolism but your just taking in excess calories for an extened period of time. So i suggest just cutting your caloric intake.

Clean bulk has been my solution to the skinny-fatness. I've only been doing it for about 3 weeks now but I can definately tell the difference with the flattening stomach. You may wanna look into it
