Hi,Recently Ive gained weight around my lower abdomen, to the point that I have really dark stretch marks. Im worried that there might be something wrong, as I havent gained weight anywhere else and this has occurred over a few weeks. I have cut out carbs and sugar from my diet to attempt to lose weight, but it hasnt helped with the swelling/weight gain around my abdomen. Ive spoken to my doctor but he said not to worry about it - but it just doesnt seem right.
Diet management and exercises may help reduce abdominal collection of subcutaneous fat. You may get thyroid function tests in addition to Lipid profile to rule out these issues. Talk to another physician, physiotherapist and a dietician
