Ive gained a good 20 to 30 pounds over the past year but im seeing little to no progress with my waistline which has been stuck at 53 inches.Is this because I exercise often and the rest of the fat goes to other parts of my body like thighs,moobs,arm fat,etc or because of other reasons?
Sounds like it's just your body type. Some people gain weight in specific areas largely due to genetics. While hormones and hormone therapy can influence your body shape, the change isn't drastic.
The only way to get your body shape the way you want is surgery. But good luck trying to find someone willing to add fat grafts to your belly.
