For context, I am male, 5’9, 23yo and currently around 195lbs.
I started at 270lbs. It’s been about a year and a half of losing so far. 2/3 of it was dieting and the other 1/3 was maintaining. Just started my second cut and it’s going great. But I am having trouble with underarm fat. My underarms used to be firmer and more filled out (obviously b/c they had more fat stored). Now they are extremely soft almost to the point of feeling liquid. They are very malleable and each one contains about a handful of fat.
What is bothering me is that the rest of my body is looking soooooo much better than it used to but my underarms are so saggy and seem to not be losing at the same rate as the rest of my body. I grew up with an extreme case of gynecomastia when I was going through puberty so my chest has always been a source of anxiety.
Is there any chance that this is something other than just a slower rate of weight loss? i.e. hormonal imbalance or maybe the remanence of gyno breast tissue growth?
