Hello
Welcome to HCM
I have read your query and I want to bring some points for your understanding.
Body weight and fat distribution in the body are genetically determined factors as one moves from one phase of life to other so does our body shape. Being genetically determined doesn't mean one cannot do anything about it.
So my recommendation is to start an exercise programme and meticulously follow it. It's a slow step in developing the body to desired shape and the most fruitful one. For exercising different group of lower limb muscle either start at home work out or join a gym.
Exercise will not only help your lower torso but also help in shaping upper body and will redistribute fat.
Healthy foods- Dietary intake is of utmost importance since fast foods can lead to central or abdominal fat deposition which may further hamper your state. Intake of proteins is desired by the body during strengthening to build up new tissues.
Be confident of yourself and carry yourself with attitude. It's something that matters most and above all. don't judge yourself by the eyes of others.
Try out these above tips and forget what the world thinks about you. You are always welcomed by our team at HCM for any issue
