huge tummy small boby

I have a huge tummy and small body. Diets seem to make things worse.If I lose weight its usually in all other areas. I've always had a pot belly as a child.I'm very pretty but don't like to go out as much anymore do to the fact that I can never find clothing to fit my shape. I'm still young and I have a very pretty face but I feel awkward now when I'm in public. I'm considering lipo but still can't afford it.

This could be caused by a medical condition.  My husband has the same thing.  Try changing your diet for a week or two and only eating lower fat meat, fish, eggs and cooked vegetables.  Leave all other carbohydrates alone - no rice, wheat, corn, potatoes.  See if your abdomen goes down.  If it does you could have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).  There is a breath test for it and antibiotics can help but it often comes back.  You could also have an issue with gluten.  If you do go for tests ensure you are eating a regular diet at that time and not what I described above as the diet change can cause a negative test.  Good luck.
