Girls, Girls doctor told me I am clinically obese, do I really look big enough to be obese?

Yep my man. Looks like a lot of it is viseral fat (fat deep inside your abdomen, surrounding your organs and causing the bloated belly) and not so much subcutaneous which is closer to the surface of your skin. A lot of the time people with a lot of viseral fat will have normal sized limbs but a bigger belly. It's definitely more common for men to have this type of fat distribution. Don't sweat it though. It's natural to have both viseral and subcutaneous fat but too much is too much and it's unhealthy.

Not sure how accurate the bullet points above are, but these are good examples of each.

I have noticed recently that there seems to be a trend of men who have bellies so oddly shaped that they look as if they are 9 months pregnant. This picture (If you) looks like a pregnant woman. I can't imagine and man who wouldn't feel self conscious because they have a pregnancy belly. If you were told have told me you were a I wouldn't have believed you. ?

You do look skinny/fat. With all the fat stored only in the tummy. It’s probably bloating from stress.

What did your doctor recommend for you?

So is that another way of you saying you think I'm fat?

[SoCk3t_PoCk3tZ]

Pretty much. You're delusional if you think you're healthy and slim 😂

[SoCk3t_PoCk3tZ]

You're more than fat though, maybe pre-diabetic if not already so.
