Why do I always have a pot belly? (photos)

saintephanie
I am fairly healthy and at a healthy weight. I do my best to eat healthy and exercise a minimum of 4 times a week. My weight has varied while growing up, and in the past I've even been deemed "underweight". Regardless of my diet, weight, and activity level, I've always had a pot belly. I noticed my mother always had as well, even when she herself was underweight. Is there anything that I can do? I'm now 30 years old and have not had any children. Thank you for any suggestions.
