12 year old belly?

Has anyone elses slim 12/13 year old got a bit of a belly?

He's got slim legs and arms, perfect face but had a belly for about a year now. Im wondering if he's gaining puppyfat before a growth spurt? My mum says this is the case - he's not an over eater and literally every person on both sides are really slim so im wondering if its a puberty thing?

Please don't shoot me.
I have a slim 13 year old with a 6 pack.
And a slim 15 year old who has never has a belly.

Me, on the other hand, has enough body fat for us all!!

I'd be watching very carefully that the belly does dissapear, and doesn't become a permanent feature.

He's not athletic so i dont expect a 6 pack and its def not fat fat, but out of proportion with the rest of him. My mum says it happened to me at 11 and then i became skinny, he's due be alot taller than me so am just wondering if they belly will fade and stretch when the height spurt comes?
