Dear Nivedita, Thank You for the Question.
Excess accumulation of visceral fat in the abdomen region can lead to increase in the stomach size which is commonly known as belly fat. Increased abdominal fat can happen due to, excess intake of high fat foods, hormonal imbalance and/or an underlying health condition. Please contact your health professional for further diagnosis and assistance.
