My waist is small, but my stomach is not flat. I work out a lot. Why does this happen?

[Anonymous]

So I work out often. Almost daily. I do a lot of cardio, running and swimming. I do all sorts of training. And I eat right. Balanced diets. Not too often.
I have a small waist. But I bloat easily and my stomach is not flat. It has like fat on it in weird places so that when you photograph me from the front or even look from the front I look fat

how do I get a flat stomach. Like actually flat? Do not just tell me to exercise more. As it obviously is not working to fine tune my body

fat.

Then? What is it. Because it doesn't really look like muscle

Are you doing actual ab workouts?

[bigbackcan]

no abs workout unnecessary only squat and barbell rows etc. most work abs and lowerback (core) 🖒

[Zendrya]

@bigbackcan how would squats affect your abs? You do squats if you want nice legs and ass...

[bigbackcan]

no legs and ass maybe little because squats you standing and barbell behind , total body work especially abs and lowerback most. if you want a nice ass and legs your body stabilize and push your only legs like leg press and hack squats 🖒

Yeah I am. If I flex then you can see some definition and its solid.

Your stomach looks just fine don't worry about it
