What Causes An Increase In The Size Of The Abdomen?

Hi, I'm a 25 year old male. My abdominal size keeps continuing to increase ever since i was 22 y/o. think it could be genetic coz my mom also has this since i could remember. I did some research and i think it could really be what they call 'visceral fat.' I have done numerous tests and consulted so many different specialists but they all say its normal. Well, i dont feel its normal and its really killing my confidence. Help!
