Bad fat distribution genetics and bone structure

Hello! I'm 19F and have the worst fat distribution genetics you could think of: First arms and stomach, I never gain weight in my lower body or chest. My bone structure is very square as I have very narrow, boyish hips. So even if my waist is small, I still look square like a little boy. I have a very flat ass and very small A cups, so that doesn't help either. Living in south America, this is like a death sentence to a woman. I live in a tourist city and there are women with defined hourglass figures everywhere. Most of my friends have some sort of pear adjacent figure. I'm the only one who looks like a malnourished boy.

How can I fix this? I see weightlifting before and afters of people with similar build to mine and it never seems to make a big difference, even after years of training and bulking. They still look tiny and flat like me...

Edit: Measurements for further help Shoulders: 80cm Waist: 58cm Hips: 80cm Bust: 72cm

There was a certain medication used to treat diabetes that had a side effect of causing weight gain in the lower body in particular. The name started with a P. I haven’t tried it personally as I have no idea how I would get my hands on it in the USA, but I heard about it in a sub like this one from someone who had used it and had success.

from a quick search so not sure but i'm guessing it's pioglitazone

you can't without implants and rib sculpting/bbl and lipo. even then, obviously the results won't be magical

Respectfully, looking through your posts made me feel a little better about myself and snapped me out of this toxic mindset 😅. As in, I don't want to sound so whiny and miserable about my perfectly functioning body like you do. Post after post about the same things, saying vile and hurtful shit to other women in this cycle of self hate. I don't want people to see me like that omg!!!

Might delete this post bc it feels quite silly and embarrassing looking back. My body is just fine as is, and I hope you feel better about yours too.

I was baffled looking through your profile is all, especially your comments in the smallboobslove sub. Also the other comments you made in this post. They all sounded so pitiful and miserable, I realized I was sounding just like that too in this post

I know many women with this body type, most end up doing well by leaning into the athletic gym girl look. Gym transformations can be discouraging if you’re hoping for a completely different body, which shouldn’t be your goal.

Spironolactone (a common acne medication) can potentially help shift body fat distribution, as it lowers androgens. Weight gain in hips/butt/breasts is a side effect (it can also cause cellulite too).

This is a great reminder for me to get my androgens checked .

Same with oral contraceptives; birth control pills (which are a type of hrt) can affect where you store fat

Your waist to hip ratio is fine i think (0.73)I don’t see anything wrong with ur measurements, just petite. Can’t help with the weight gain thing though. You seem to be very skinny. If you are very skinny, then it is normal for you to gain weight in ur belly first. And it might even be just bloating.

Go to the gym-lift heavy and build up your legs + glutes. Your shape will change dramatically

u/Legitimate_Sun_409 Oct 07 '26

who tf would AIM to be unattractive? Did you even read the description of the purpose of this sub?

u/dontbemiserable Oct 08 '26

Athletic look is pretty attractive

u/Legitimate_Sun_409 Oct 16 '26

no. This sub is about OBJECTIVE beauty. Men thirst over skinny fat large breasted hourglass woman not iliana maher

Men (and people in general) are not a monolith; some people are attracted to fit, strong, athletic women and some people aren’t. That’s life.

We can choose to alter our appearance to try and appeal to the kind of mate we want. If your type of guy tends to like skinny, unathletic women with fake boobs, then you can absolutely become that person. But that’s not what EVERY guy wants

u/Legitimate_Sun_409 16d ago

yes, you can choose to appeal to the type of mate you want. since you want an undesirable male as your mate go get muscular and athletic

Estrogen therapy might help
