What Causes Sudden Weight In Upper And Lower Stomach?
Hi, I have been trying to find an answer to my unexplained weight gain, especially upper and lower stomach area. I always had a flat stomach. Now it has popped out seemingly overnight and though I eat little and healthy, I have gained 10 pounds. I exersice but it does not help. My doctor said its just old age. I am 70. I am uncomfortable and upset. Do you have any other explanation besides old age?

During aging, the loss of muscle mass may result in decrease toning in different aspects of the body including the abdomen.
It is possible with abdominal toning exercises that you may be able to regain the tone of these muscles and decrease your abdominal fat.
I hope this helps
