Hi,Im 22, 6 foot 2 inches and weigh 16 stone 7 lbs, but over the past few months my ribs/ sternum are becoming increasingly visible, even though Im not losing any weight. Im not doing any weightlifting/ vigorous activity so no increase in muscle weight.What could be causing this? Its as though Im losing fat from around my ribs/ sternum but nowhere else, and not losing weight.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about this. This is hormonal changes of the body. Testosterone in males causes more fat distribution in abdomen and less in ribs area. It also causes muscular build-up by increasing muscle mass. So no need to worry about this. This is physiological changes of body. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
