Fat Distribution: The excess energy that we consume from food is stored as fat in our body. Fat is usually stored under the skin evenly at times, and may be that is why you did not notice it. The advice is to look after your weight and make sure you do not go overweight, as it unfortunately linked to many diseases. It is usually easy to gain extra weight and hard to lose it! Regards

Weight gain: Unexplained weight gain occurs with underactive thyroid or fluid retention seen in heart failure, liver or kidney disease. Most of the time it's caused by hidden or unrecognized increase in calorie intake or reduction in physical exercise.
