Brief Answer:
You need to workout more!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. I have reviewed the attached images as well. You have no problem. Your abdominal muscles are not well developed and that is why it is not as hard/flat as your friend's. You have to continue with the workout sessions as it can easily take up to one year of continuous dedication to workout sessions to develop these muscles fully. Do not get disturbed by this and keep up working hard. You will get there. If need be, get a personal trainer to help you work and develop these muscles to help you achieve the great look you wish for.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Hormone check will not help. I will say report this to your doctor!

HI and thanks for this precision.

There is really no hormonal issue with you. But since you are worried, I will recommend you seek a second opinion from your doctor just for clarifications purposes. Keep me posted on this.

Hello Doctor,
I am very sorry that you didn't understand my question completely.
My question was that maybe or may be not testosterone deficiency would be a cause but i have got my testosterone evaluated.
Second thing about love handles as know it is a stub burn area to lose fat i would it in confidence that it is very very difficult to respond to exercise cause may be numerous genetic and i think only liposuction surgery would be the only option.
I also did ask to you about soft skin it meant that saggy tissue.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up!

1. I am pretty sure testosterone is not the cause of your symptoms. Am happy your results must have put your mind to rest.

2. Liposuction is definitely the last option to consider. But, if you want rapid results, then go ahead with this. However, I will recommend that you embark on exercise and only consider surgery as the last option.

I wish you well.
