Visceral fat or abdominal fat also known as organ fat or intra-abdominal fat, is located inside the abdominal cavity, packed in between organs (stomach, liver, intestines, kidneys, etc.). Visceral fat is different than subcutaneous fat underneath the skin, and intramuscular fat interspersed in skeletal muscles. Fat in the lower body, as in thighs and buttocks, is subcutaneous, whereas fat in the abdomen is mostly visceral. Visceral fat is composed of several adipose depots including mesenteric, epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT) and perirenal depots.

Visceral fat lies around organs in the peritoneal cavity. Subcutaneous fat lies as the name implies under the skin and is also known as 'the hypodermis'. Distribution of visceral fat differs from person to person. The more overweight a person is the greater the amount of visceral fat.
