How long does fat redistribution take?

So I am a pretty thin guy, the only fat I have is a little on my stomach and on my hips, particularly in the back. its pretty gross and annoying for me.  Thing is, if I press down on the fat, my hips are really close to being very narrow.

So its been a long time on T, almost 3 years, (check my ticker).  Sooooo am I stuck with this unless I diet and try to target the area working out? Or with more time will it move to my stomach?

Probably. I mean, I'm chubby and my fat ahs really redistributed to my gut. The thing is that with weight on my belly, when I stand it kinda moves towards my hips.

The testosterone fat distribution is on your gut. That's what the hormone does. You can exercise your lower back to firm that up, but your gut will be the absolute last to go on T. And you can work out your sides to. On athletic guys those lumps are actually muscle.

For the most part T causes more of a redistribution of NEW fat and has a lesser impact on redistributing already present fat.  So the fat on your stomach, that's what T is doing with the new fat, but the fat on your hips, that can be worked off.  Some people are luckier than others and do see results with old fat redistributing but it can't be banked on and your example proves that.

So essentially if you want to lose fat you have to burn it off and then the new fat should go to the right places (gut) and the old fat will be gone without return (to an extent, if you were to put on weight in terms of fat it could partly build up in these areas again but not as bad as it would for a female all going well).  Unfortunately you can't target fat loss, so you just have to do some all over cardio and some strength training to burn fat off in general.  If you're already a skinny guy then it shouldn't be a massive task though and once it's gone, you're laughing! :)

You can't target fat loss, but you are more likely that will lose it from the female-y places first since you're on t. And fat most likely wont redistribute without weight loss.

Fat cells don't just travel around the body depending on your hormones. You need to lose weight and burn off the old fat, and the new fat will usually go to the more male places (of course, it all depends on genetics as well; some cis guys have very femme figures).

I'm lucky that because of my PCOS (I'm assuming), my fat redistributes very quickly. Within 4 months of starting on female hormones, I went from an almost 34B to a full 34D. I stopped the female hormones between two and three months ago now and am already between a 34B and C, and my hips are pretty close to being gone already as well (basically all that's left now is my hip muscle, which will take much longer to disappear). However I know this is very rare, and quite frankly don't even know how it's possible myself. :/

It all depends on the individual, but working out frequently will help speed up the results, and T will help burn the fat from mostly female places. If you find you're having trouble burning fat in some spots, Youhimbine HCl is supposed to be good at targeting hard to lose spots.

this all makes sense.  I may start some cardio work then, maybe join a gym when I get a job.

Thanks for all of your answers.
