    Are you skinny fat by chance? I have a friend who’s exactly like this. Bro looks super skinny to some but fat-ish to others.

      Skinny fat means being lean but having near tummies, legs and arms. It’s common with south asians like in indian subcontinent. It’s mainly caused by unhealthy diets us desi’s have.

        Wdym by unhealthy diets? My family being desi had quite healthy stuff, so I rlly can’t relate. Like do u mean oily gravies n stuff like they have in dhabas? Or generally low protein diets?

          Yes. A lot of desis eat rice, daal, etc and don’t eat much meat. All the oil in gravies and curries is also a thing. And most importantly, they don’t workout. So they aren’t fat nor healthy. Your family is an exception not an example.

      No I think I’m just tall and long with big shoulders.

      Clothes seem baggy around my tummy even with slim fit and my arms are actually legitimately quite skinny.

      When I take my clothes off I used to get compliments on my chest and shoulders also butt and legs. Weirdly sometimes also arms which I didn’t really understand.
