You may have hit the optimum for you, or you may have just hit a wall, but there are things to consider other than just weight, calorie intake vs burn, and BMI. The popular media and fitness trainers would have us all believe we can look like Arnold.

My grandpa had a gut his whole life, even when he was skinny. My dad has had one since I can remember, even when he was in the best shape of his life (moderate build, maxed out every single machine in the gym, etc.). So basically all of the males I've met on my dad's side of the family have had a gut for their whole lives. My identical twin brother has the exact same body frame as me and he has a gut also.
