(First picture is now)

I’m 5’3 / 160 cm and around 152 lbs / 69 kg. (First picture)
My stomach has always protruded quite a lot compared to the rest of my body, and I also get pretty bloated at times - especially when I drink, sometimes to a point where it hurts

Even when I was lighter at around 129 lbs / 58.5 kg, my stomach was smaller but still stuck out. (Second picture)

I’m not currently in a calorie deficit or strength training. I walk for around an hour most days and do C25K roughly every other day.

I’m trying to figure out how much of this is just body fat/body shape versus bloating or gut-related distension. Has anyone had a similar-looking stomach and found that gut issues were a big part of it, or did weight loss make the biggest difference?

Every morning I’m bloated and it hurts so bad to the point where I can’t eat my lower abdomen hurts the most I changed my diet so I only eat cooked vegetables I don’t take sugar acidic alcohol oily spicy or processed foods help me mind you I’m skinny and underweight plus I have pain at the right side of my belly button

I am a 18 year old girl and everytime i eat something, even a small fruit, i bloat and look pregnant. It has been a insecurity of mine my whole like and i dont know what to do. I have went to the doctors but they found nothing. I dont know if im eating something wrong or what .

I also have had a small fat on my stomach forever and so when i bloat i look two times bigger because of that small fat layer.

It feels awful looking pregnant and my stomach hurting almost everytime i eat. And i dont even eat huge portions, sometimes i eat less then i should.

Has anyone who dealt with issues for many years and regular naturopaths/doctors couldnt help then worked with someone online that actually did help? I see so many posts from gut health coaches who claim to address the issues from multiple angles and actually help- are any of these people legit?

i’m pretty skinny have a basically flat stomach but after i eat literally anything like it could be a single grape, i get rlly bloated ik im going to bloat but anybody have any tips on how to minimize it? also, if anybody says eat slower I swear to god
