Sadly I haven't started T yet (heck I haven't even started therapy yet). But. Anyways, I had a question regarding T and fat distribution. Does T give you abs/a flat stomach? I have a *slight* pot belly. It isn't really noticeable unless I have my top off. Which. Isn't often. :P But nonetheless I am a little self conscious about it and I was wondering... would the fat distribution by any chance give me a flat stomach? Does anyone know if it would affect this/if it does have you experienced it?

T gives you a beer belly. Your fat moves from arms, legs, hips, and chest to your stomach (although, not exactly like that). You need to get very lean to have visible abs.

Most likely won't. Like Nygeel pointed out, male fat distribution comes with the typical "beer belly" (whilst you can expect your hips, thighs and moobs to shrink). It's a good idea to lose some weight and start working out before (or when) going on T for many reasons - e.g. tends to work it's way faster with slimmer people - and muscle won't be converted into belly fat (and muscles will grow on T).
