I would like to know if this roll on my stomach is fat or excess skin? (Photo)

Asked By:alonna1991 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am a 30 year old female and I am approximately 135 pounds standing at around 5’3. I look fit but this roll on my stomach is so stubborn to the point that I am starting to believe it may be excess skin from my weight having fluctuated over the years. I’ve always had this roll but I just assumed it was because I was chubby, but now that I am active and eat well, I’m concerned that it will never go away
