Men usually have more belly fat than other parts of their body.

For men, body fat exceeding 25% results in the abdominal region becoming the preferred site for fat storage, making it both easier to gain and harder to lose fat in this area.

Visible abdominal definition in men typically occurs at approximately 20% body fat, while women achieve waist tightening at approximately 28% body fat.

In a group of middle-aged people, about 3 out of 10 women and men have too much fat under the skin of the belly, while about 4 out of 10 have too much fat around their internal organs, based on CT scans.

Women typically store a higher proportion of body fat in the hips, legs, and arms compared to the abdominal region.

Men and women tend to store body fat in different areas: men more around the abdomen, and women more around the hips and thighs.
