What Causes Accumulation Of Fat Over The Abdomen In A Child?
My 12 year old daughter has some belly fat and it looks very bumpy. Like what older women get on their thighs. The dr does not want her to gain weight this year- she is 4'7 and 89 pounds. Other than the belly fat she is fine. What can I do to help her and what could the cause for the uneven look be?

HELLO THANX FOR USING HCM
FOR A CHILD OF 12 YEARS ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO MAKE HER BURN CALORIES THROUGH PLAYING SOME SPORTS LIKE BADMINTON OR CYCLING, FOOT BALL,OR ANY OTHER OUTDOOR SPORTS WHICH SHE LIKES AND ENJOYS . THATS THE BEST EXERCISE FOR HER TO SHED EXTRA FAT .ABDOMINAL BELLY FAT IS USUALLY APPLE SHAPE OBESITY WHICH IS GENETICAL.
