Children Have Been Gaining Weight. Have Cellulite. What Can Be The Reason For They Gaining Weight?

Both my son (10) and daughter (8) have cellulite on their bellies. When I enter my daughters stats into a BMI calculator she falls in the overweight (close to obese) category. I would never have thought this was possible. she is an active girl (competes on a gymnastics team) and looks relatively proportionate (except for the belly). My son has always been pretty slender but recently developed a "chubby" belly that is dimpled. My husband and I are extremely health conscientious about what we eat and feed them allowing for the occasional treat. We are avid runners and try to keep them moving. I'm at a loss for why my children are appearing overweight.
