Not sure: Not sure exactly what you are asking but a "fat stomach" could be poor muscle tone. Mild scoliosis generally doesn't restrict you from doing core body exercises if u r unhappy with your stomac tone. Severe constipation can also make a belly look big. If really worried see your MD

Depends: Scoliosis in and of itself does not prohibit one from having a flat stomach, it generally is related to the amount of subcutaneous fat stored in the abdominal wall.
