Why does my rib cage/mid stomach stick out so much and how can this be fixed? (photos)

June 14, 2018
Asked By:m335 in Toronto, ON

No matter how skinny or whether I put on weight, my stomach never looks flat. It looks very shadowed and asymmetrical. The mid line of my stomach sticks out, as well as my ribs. Is there any way this can be corrected? Does this need more than just diet and exercise?
