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.
Improper Calorie Intake: Consuming excess or too less calories should e avoided. Cutting down calories increases production of hunger hormone, causing overeating.

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.
