Obesity and a big belly are a problem that bothers many people today. The main factors that lead to this are as follows:
1. Wrong diet (High-Calorie Diet)
Eating excessive amounts of carbohydrates (rice, flour), sugar, and fried foods can cause fat to accumulate. When the body does not burn these excess calories, they accumulate as fat.
2. Lack of physical activity
A sedentary lifestyle is the main reason for fat accumulation. In people who work for long periods of time and do little physical activity, the metabolism slows down and fat accumulates quickly.

3. Lack of sleep
Insufficient sleep disrupts the balance of the hormones Ghrelin and Leptin in the body. This causes excessive hunger and fat gain.
4. Stress
Excessive stress increases the hormone cortisol in the body. This is the main reason for the accumulation of fat around the stomach (Belly Fat).
5. Thyroid problems
In people with hypothyroidism, the metabolism is very slow. This can lead to weight gain and fat accumulation even if you eat less food.
6. Genetics
Some people have a genetic predisposition to burn fat. If there are people in your family who are obese, you are also more likely to gain fat.
