Brief Answer:
Loose abdominal muscles (wall) or defect in wall

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

Here there are a few things to consider.
There is a fat deposit inside abdomen that is called omentum ..sometimes externally belly doesnt have fat but omentum does have.But as you said there is not much fat on the other oarts of your body, i believe This might not be related to body fat.

When big tummy isnt related to body fat , it is usually related to two things.

1) Loose abdominal wall.
2) A defect (herniation) in abdominal wall.

I would suggest you to visit a general surgeon he will look into the matter after examination and will decide if you need any intervension or not.
Some doctor advocate that wearing abdominal binder and belts do help in this matter if done consistantly for 6month to 1 year.

I would also suggest here that medicine does not seem to be of any help in this matter you will have to visit an abdomin surgeon to get a checup and discuss about treatment options. Till then i would suggest you to start wearing abdominal band or binder it will help in regression plus it will prevent abdomen from loosening up further.


I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Regards.
