so basicly i have been on hrt for 5 months now and im starting to develop female body dimensions with fat redistribution, my only worry is since i have been dropping most physical work and still eating like i normally did before hrt, (i can't stop eating, food tastes so more awesome now)
i have been told that when it comes to fat, "the last to go on is the first to come off", and if that is true when i start jogging i will burn off all my female fat and keep my masculine fat, is this the case or do the hormones change were primary fat burning locations are?

I seem to have put it on and lost it at the same time. I have lost some from the midriff, and gained some on my hips for instance. As well as the boobs of course.

Everyone is different. The areas you gain/lose fat and or muscle mass maybe entirely different for another MTF on HRT. The only way to know for sure, is to wait and see.

I was looking at a sizing calculator, and it was pretty cool. The thing I remembered about it was that it had two options, the two were where fat generated first/more.
1)Abdominal area
2)Hips
To most of us I think the worst thing to get is fat distribution in the abdominal area, which usually happens first(atleast for me). When I started hrt, I cut down on running and swimming, and did more situps and other ab training. I still got abdomial fat, but its not a gut and it's enough to have a very faint six pack when moving semi heavy stuff.(Has the two halves alittle. )
