I’ve never really had this issue until more recently, I’d say since beginning of this year. I think part of it may be my posture? I work remote and sit for part of the day but I have a standing desk with a walking pad so I try to add movement. I really struggle with my body because I’ve always been super small with a small waist. I was super active during high school and beginning of college. About 2 years ago I weighed about 125 and since then I’ve gained a bit of weight. I don’t necessarily have a problem with the weight. I’ve really been struggling with my waist and how wide it looks. I’m not bloated and I eat well in a calorie deficit, but no matter what I do I can’t seem to even out in my midsection. I work out about 3-4 times a week with weights and progressive overload. The other days I do cardio on the treadmill for an hour and everyday I walk on my walking pad and if I can, take a walk outside for about 2 miles. I average about 8-9k steps a day. I feel like I’m doing everything right but I don’t understand why my stomach looks like this. At first I was thinking rib flare but now I’m thinking diastasis recti? I’m not sure if I’m being too critical but it’s driving me crazy and I’ve really tried to be patient and stick with my routine. I’m fine with the rest of my body but I can’t get over this and it makes me really self conscious. 

Diastasis recti or is this normal? 22F 5’2 141lb
