Answered by Dr. Mir Osman Ali

What causes a big belly despite a good diet and exercise?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have an excellent question which I am glad to answer. It is nice to see that your height and weight are normal and you have good nutrition. But, you still have a big belly. The common causes are slow metabolism of the body to break down fats, lack of exercise making the abdominal muscles weak and saggy, sedentary lifestyle and the rare cause can be diabetes.
