Fat distribution
After gaining about 30 lbs in graduate school, losing about 20 of them, gaining another 15 after my brother died and losing them again, (all this over about 10 years) I'm now about 5'1" and plateaued around 110-115 lbs, which seems to be my comfy weight without exercising or watching what I eat. I'm around 22-25% body fat. However, it's distributed oddly. I have a very fit torso (with a little bit of extra fat on the triceps), in fact it may be a little too thin - you can kind of see my ribs. I have a pretty trim waist, not a flat tummy but not too pouchy, but I have all this fat around my thighs and butt. I think this is just genetic - I've always been slightly pear-shaped, and the rest of my female relatives carry their weight in the same areas. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the lower body fat without further skeletonizing the rest of my body?
