Would you say I'm fit? Or no?

I used to be really overweight, like obese. I have since then lost most of the weight and have gained a lot of muscle in the process. I no longer have any health problems associated with being out of shape and I am VERY active, energetic, and overall pretty athletic (in capability, anyway).

Problem is that I have this last 15-20 or so lbs of fat that won't go away no matter what I do so I have no muscle definition to speak of. None you can see, anyway. And as a result I still have a little bit of a gut that won't go away.

Does this constitute being fit?

maybe medically, but not aesthetically. I was pretty much in the same boat, you just have to power through those last 15 pounds man. It sucks, but its worth it. feels like all the work finally paid off.

You can still have some extra weight and be fit. It all depends on your lifestyle and how active you are. Its normal for the last few pounds to be the toughest/slowest to get rid of.

You've just hit your plateau. If you push through it, you will be able to get rid of those extra lbs and you'll slowly start gaining muscle definition. Good luck!
