Not sure if this is the right place to post, but it is vanity rather than anything else...
I have recently (past few months) developed some tummy fat. This is unusual for me: I normally put it on my bottom or thighs
I am 45, 5’4”, 9st 2lbs. Normally fairly happy with my figure/weight. I have always been happy in a bikini because my toned stomach was one of my good features... Not feeling that at the moment
I work out 4/5 times a week including challenging abs: it isn’t just “loose muscle tone”. My diet is good; Hugh in fruit and veg and lean protein, relatively low carb, very low in processed food, low sugar, no sweet drinks, low alcohol, low bad fats.
The only change recently (past few months) is going back to dairy. I used to be very little (mostly unsweetened oat/almond milk). However I wear fixed braces with clear brackets and worked out that non-dairy in my coffee was more “staining” than dairy: so swapped back to dairy...
Could it be the increase in dairy? Age/hormones? Something else?
Any suggestions/tips? I am going to try going back to non-dairy for a start.
Thanks
