What Causes Fat Deposition On Hips And Thighs In A Male?
I am a male with lumpy fat like cellulite on my thighs, triceps and maybe even on my hips, and also seem to store fat in a feminine way on my hips, thighs and triceps, as well as love handles. Why do I have this, I thought only females could get it.
I have had my testosterone checked and it came back as 20.6 (7.6-31.4) nmol/l, my LH 3 (1.7-8.6) U/L,FSH 2.1 (1.5-11.4) U/L thus they are not failing in any way. SHBG also fluctuates from 38-55 (14-78) nmol/l. So why do I have this problem?, and how can I get rid of it?, I find this so frustrating and sad to be going through this problem as a 24 year old male. I also have depression and anxiety stemming from this issues.

Hello,
To complete the hormonal checkup you need to check thyroid function. If it results within the normal ranges than it may be due to metabolic syndrome and diet and physical activity is recommended.
