Lower Part On Ribs Sticking Out. Treatment?

Hello, I am fifteen years of age and I am 5" 1' and weight 130 (which my doctor thinks is over weight). I am athletic and have a bit more stamina than most girls. My mother says im "built" since i am alot stronger than most girls. Well, down to the nitty-gritty why do my ribs stick out, especially the lower part? Is there something I can do to get rid of it?

Hi, it appears that you have a different distribution of the fat in the body, mostly active girls will have such distribution, with the less fat in the lower rib cage, abdomen, and legs.
You need not worry about this shape, unless it is ugly, or trouble some. Thank you.
