Hi and welcome, sky

It is possible to be very slim and still have visceral fat, due to the type of food that you're eating. You might like to have a look at this phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

How is your body temp? Do you have symptoms of low thyroid function? If your thyroid is lazy you put on fat, high colesterol low body temp ( feel cold easily) and so on.

I feel the cold very easily yes, thank you fort your reply

Very often the reason for high cholesterol and too many kilos is in fact hypothyroidism that has not been diagnosed. You can support your thyroid with diet. For some this is enough to get weight to normalize but it may be an idea to check thyroid function. Supplementing with T3 often resolves the situation quite quickly. Good luck.

¿What numbers do you use to calculate your BMI?

¿Is it just your waist you cannot get into your clothes?

¿Do you have subcutaneous tummy fat (under the skin)?

If you have a distended abdomen, you might have visceral fat, IBS, coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten allergy...
