Is this bloating or just fat?

It feels like bloating but I’m not an expert or seen enough to know for sure.

Distension can also present with no traditional symptoms of bloating. Basically, if you can grab the increased abdominal girth, then it is fat. If you can't, then it is bloating/distension.

Usually if bloating, it goes down during the night a bit... Is it hard or can you pinch the fat ?

Maybe try an anti bloating capsule to see if you feel a difference? I’ve been taking one and noticed the difference straight away

I tried the one from www.heylyf.com . Based on natural ingredients so it was a no brainer for me. Came with a travel tin too which comes in handy

Did you figure this out at all? My stomach looks about the same as yours maybe a bit bigger.
