Did my surgery cause my midriff fat that won't budge? (Photo)

davegravy
Hi, i am a nearly 40 y/old male who is very active and takes care of what i eat, drink and how i move/exercise. Since i had my appendix removed in my 20s (i was overweight at the time) no matter how much fat lost or muscle gained the fat around my midriff doesn’t go, my upper abdominal muscles are visible as are lines into the groin area below - its just a floating band in the middle that doesn’t go. is this to do with the appendix scar tissue ? - or a surgery/procedure fix only? -any thoughts ?
