Sedentary Lifestyle: Inactivity prevents body fat from burning.

Menopause: Fall in levels of estrogen in a woman’s body cause the fat to settle in the belly. This fat is more harmful than buttocks fat.

Wrong Food Choice:  Foods laden with sugar and calories can make you exceed your daily calorie requirements, even when the portions are small.

Stress: Stress produces cortisol that breaks down calories-burning tissues, thus holding on to the fat in the abdominal region

Genetics: Your genes decide where the fat gets stored – in the abdomen or thighs and buttocks.
