Why Belly Fat is Hard to Lose

Belly fat is one of the most stubborn types of fat due to several factors:

Genetics

Some people naturally store more fat around their abdomen, making it harder to lose.

Hormones

High cortisol levels (stress hormone) promote abdominal fat accumulation. Hormonal changes with age also affect fat distribution.

Diet and Lifestyle

Poor diet, lack of exercise, and excessive sugar or alcohol intake contribute to stubborn belly fat.

Age

Metabolism slows with age, making fat loss slower, especially around the midsection.
