The distribution of fat in your body differs according to the balance of hormones you have. Estrogen tends to distribute fat to your thighs, producing the "pear shape," whereas testosterone tends to distribute fat to your belly, producing the "apple shape."

At 48, you may be menopausal or pre-menopausal. The balance of hormones in your body is changing drastically. You are losing estrogen production and so the deposition of fat in your body suddenly shifts to your stomach. Your metabolism can also change drastically at this time, causing you to accumulate fat when you haven't been before.

You can lose weight safely by eating a balanced, healthy diet and increasing your level of exercise and you can lose that stomach fat. Use a nutrition diary to find out how many calories you're eating, and how many you need to eat to lose weight. When you reach menopause, you lose a lot of the protection that your hormones were providing, and you can start to develop cardiovascular diseases more easily.
