Brief Answer:
Needs hormonal work up and then management accordingly.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Central obesity with narrow hips and skinny legs need hormonal work up to rule out cushing's disease. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Talk to a doctor , let them run some baseline work up sort it out. Losing weight is easy, first we need to correlate it clinically to see if there is any hormonal imbalance causing it.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
