Stomach fat is distributed below belly button in a pouch, I'd like to be able to get a smooth stomach. Options? (photos)

Asked By:serd123 in Calabasas, CA

My stomach fat is distributed such that I have virtually none above the belly button, and everything is below in a "pouch". As long as I can remember, I've had this beneath my belly button. I've tried not wearing underwear, better posture, etc. but it won't go away. I wonder if it's because I wore too-tight briefs as a kid combined with bad posture, making a permanent indentation? It makes me look fatter than I am and I'd like to be able to get the smooth stomachs that I see on most girls.
