What Causes Abdominal Distention?

My stomach is much larger compared to the rest of my body. It is hard, and I can t suck it in at all. I m not in any pain but , I am uncomfortable and at my wits end. I have recently lost 80lb. so its not all a weight problem. I ve been told this may be liver related, what do you think?
