I'm 29 and I've been skinny-fat pretty much my whole life since I was like 6. I got bullied for having moobs, puffy nipples, armpit fat, a big belly, love handles, all of that. My self-esteem got wrecked and I had zero confidence, got depressed, socially anxious, isolated, never dated any girls. I couldn't take my shirt off at the pool, couldn't wear tight shirts or short sleeves, and I hated my body so much I couldn't even look in the mirror. So my question is: if I finally transform my body, do you think I'll actually get to feel happy at least once in my life? Maybe even get a date?

But I've been going to the gym and dieting for 3 months now. I don't see much progress yet but I know I'll get there, I'm staying positive

The answer to every such thread on /fit/ is "Probably yes, but not for you because you made a post asking this on /fit/"

Ok for real though you need to focus on becoming a normal fucking person so stay off of places like this, don't fall into weird fitness rabbit holes like TikTok and Instagram or Reddit, try to make friends irl and live life beyond a computer screen, sounds like that's a big part of your problems. Your problems are way beyond just being skinnyfat, but yes it will help to stop being skinnyfat.

I was skinnyfat too but on the skinnier end of the spectrum (scrawny with a belly poking out) and from the features you described it sounds like you're on the fatter end of the skinnyfat spectrum, do a mild cut, don't do an insane calorie deficit and starve yourself and definitely don't bulk right now, when I say a mild cut I mean mild. Don't forget to get a decent amount of protein in. Don't do any meme diets just eat normally while adhering to what I just said.

Do any basic resistance training program, maybe some cardio for your fitness but don't overdo that, it can be a beginner hypertrophy thing in the gym, some basic calisthenics thing, it does not matter as long as it's balanced (not super focused on upper or lower body but balanced, not super focused on pushing or pulling but balanced) go get your newbie gains in. For all of this to work you need to stick to things for at least a year or two.

TL;DR go outside and live life, don't do any weird meme shit with your diet and training, be consistent, all normie advice yes but it's what you have to do, there are no magic solutions

Thanks anon, I really appreciate you taking the time to write all that out. You're right I do spend too much time online and get caught up in rabbit holes instead of just living life. I've been on a calorie deficit for the last 3 months and lost about 10 pounds, still got more fat to lose but I'll just be patient and keep going. I'll focus on consistency, a normal approach, and sticking with it long term instead of looking for shortcuts like you said. It actually helps a lot to hear from someone who went through the skinnyfat struggle and came out better on the other side. Thanks again
