I am thin, but there is this layer of fat on my stomach that has been there for as long as I can remember. Is it normal? (Photo)

Asked By:locamocha in Upper Darby, PA

my thighs don't tough, my hipbones protrude, my ribcage can partially be seen, etc. I am an ectomorph. Is it normal to have that layer of dat? How can I lose it without surgery? I've tried cardio but no budge. It has been there as long as I can remember. Sorry for the wacky angles, but how can I lose this fat? I'm sick of it!
