Why do girls getting fat at the hips first before the belly ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nature: The fat accumulation is different between boys and girls (men and women), because that is just the way they are made. That means the hormonal differences and the genetic differences between men and women cause their fat to build up in differing patterns. Diet and exercise also have an effect.
