    Stomach sticks out

    Hi there, my stomach sticks out but i think i have very little body fat... if i pinch my stomach I can barely grab anything (calipers would say less than a cm probably).
    If i flex my stomach it is pretty defined but when its not flex it definitely isn't flat.
    What is the issue here? and what should I do to fix it.

    Check your posture as well. A good shit can't hurt though. Unless it's really big and you're de-hydrated, then it hurts a lot.

    No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

    Is this a chronic issue or did this just start occuring?

    Usually the first guess would be that it's excess body fat, however it sounds like you are bloated.

    If the issue is occuring for the first time, you can probably wait on it and let the bloat subside.

    If this is chronic, you may want to get some blood work done to ensure that all your organs are functioning properly.

    It could still be fat. Could be visceral fat.

    Well over a billion people on this planet have worms which cause the same effect. If you live in a warm region on Earth consider that first. It cost like under $20 US for medicine to get rid of them.

    All I can think of is anterior pelvic tilt and not squeezing your glutes. my stomach looks the same way when I am not squeezing my glutes when standing up looking into the mirror.

    Fat can build up on either side of the abs. Even in the absence of fat it may be something genetic you have to learn to live with.

    it's "lazy abs"......like chuck liddell's......the ufc fighter isn't fat but looks like he has a beergut.....i have the same issue.....i look like i have a gut when not flexing, but all abs are visible when i do flex....i think it's purely genetic

    most people have hit on it I think. Could be either visceral fat, anterior pelvic tilt, or constipation or bloating.
