Overweight

My 9 year old daughter isn't huge but she carries a bit extra around her waist - now she's getting older she wants to wear crop tops & bikinis which make her belly a lot more pronounced. It's really not a good look for her, I keep just telling her no she's not a teenager but I don't want to upset her by telling her she a little bigger there

Just keep telling her she's not old enough, don't mention her weight at all. I have a 9 year old and she isn't allowed to wear anything like that till she's at least in secondary.

Is she overweight in any way at all? Realistically, if she is just a little chubby, she should outgrow it as she grows up as long as she is active and eats healthy. I'd leave it and just keep saying no but because she's far quite young
