Weight gain.: I assume that you are NOT a 19 year old MALE. I don't think your increased abdominal girth has to do with constipation, menstruation or pregnancy if this is truly fat. You can tell by grasping the soft tissue of your abdomen. If it's thicker than it used to be, then you have simply gained more fatty tissue there. Check your weight and monitor for weight gain.
