Explanation: male, 38, 130 pounds. Skinny, low muscle mass but have a beer keg belly.

My day is 7am wake up. Get kids to school. Work until 5. Get kids from school. Cook, shower and then I’m exhausted AF.

I’m semi fit? I’m a mechanic professionally and spring til summer I mountain bike regularly. So my calves are monsters.

But would like… basic at home sit ups. Push ups etc like on a Saturday, would that help at all?

    Assuming you’re an adult, you’re already well inside the normal range of weight for your height. Based on that, it sounds like your eating habits aren’t terrible, so you are that unicorn that actually just needs to exercise more and you’re not eating all your hard work away. If you start feeling persistently fatigued, add a bit of carbs back to your diet. A little bit isn’t going to make your belly balloon back out. :) Good luck!

    Edit: I stand corrected, see below. I was incorrectly assuming things from your other comments when I hadn’t even read your main post! Duh.

      TOFI : thin outside fat inside : is very common! That is 100% diet based

      Something like 92% of westerns don’t have optimal metabolic health… Which is a polite way of saying only 8% are perfectly healthy, and the rest are on the sliding scale of insulin resistance

        Thank you for the correction. I somehow completely skipped over OP’s main text in their post and went right to inferring stuff from their other comments and thought maybe they were young and had some body image issues. 38, skinny, but a beer keg belly definitely sounds like diet.
