I have recently begun getting increasingly concerned about my 14 almost 15-year-old son. He is beginning to look more and more chubby and I'm getting worried that it might lead to horrible health consequences. He is very confident and I don't really think he has noticed all that much really but when he is topless he has small man boobs and a belly that sticks out quite far. This is becoming more and more noticeable with clothes on and he ha this weird habit of lifting his t-shirt up to show his belly which is fine but is obviously showing his increasing large belly. His face is also becoming fatter and he is starting to develop a double chin.
He does do a few forms of exercise including football out of school and PE within school. He eats relatively healthily at home and my other children are both healthy however he does go out with his friends to town most weekends which could mean he is making unhealthy decisions of what he eats them.
I am worried he will become more self-conscious and could lose his confidence especially when kids are so mean to each other nowadays and while he hasn't mentioned anything to me yet I don't want him to be bullied or anything like that. I'm not completely sure what he weighs, but i could always find out, but isn't too tall for his age at about 158cm and while I don't think he's obese or that overweight I don't want it to lead to anything worse. Any experience, advice support or just people to chat about it would be great. Thank You
