Why does my stomach stick out after my tummy tuck? (photos)

I got my tummy tuck done last year in May, I was 5'3" 152 pounds now I am 145.lbs, I go to the gym regularly and my stomach still never gets completely flat. My question is, did my doctor leave too much skin on my stomach? Or did he not liposuction the area well enough. My stomach sticks out so much it looks like I'm pregnant. And this had been going on since right after the surgery. At first I thought it might be swelling but now it's been too long and I don't know what to do but I'm not happy.
