Lipedema can cause a very disproportionate fat distribution concentrated in the hips, thighs, and calves, mainly in women. This is not a typical pear shape; it’s much more dramatic.

It’s genetics, working through hormones such as leptin and cortisol. Treatments that affect hormonal balance will affect fat distribution, which is why some older women experience changes in body composition.

Cushing’s Disease, which is caused by excess Cortisol, results in this uneven fat distribution. I am currently undergoing testing for this, in part because my recent rapid weight gain is all around the midsection, neck and face. I have perfectly normal arms and legs.

In addition to the above factors, I don’t believe anyone has mentioned age. As age increases, fat storage becomes more concentrated in the midsection and less at the extremities (definitely true for men, pretty sure it’s true for women also). This is will frequently see older men with very well defined arms and plenty of gut around the middle.
