36.2 BMI. I gained weightand it squeezes my stomach

[rosiethird2]

I have had gastroenteritis for years. I also have gastric reflux a lot now that I am almost 90. The fat around my belly / stomach area is terribly uncomfortable. I have spondylitis of the spine so cannot do the exercises I used to lose weight previously. I do not move much and worry the fat if a symptom of some disease. I complained to my doctor about the nuisance of the fat and he said, "If it is fat" and he did not elaborate. Cancer is a horrible thought. I lost my beloved husband four months ago and am in the grieving process. Not much motivation to improve my health. I am 4'11 and 180 pounds with a BMI of 36.2, & Apple shaped which runs in my maternal side of the family.
