An author and influencer, Mila Habsy, says she spends a year dieting but cannot shift what she describes as stubborn lower-belly fat. She reports that her trousers begin to feel tighter each morning despite her efforts.

In the account, Habsy later attributes the difficulty losing weight to what she describes as a hidden hormone disorder, framing the body-fat pattern as a potential warning sign rather than a result of diet alone. The piece also presents the view of “experts” who advise people not to dismiss hard-to-shift weight changes, suggesting that persistent or unusual fat gain may warrant further attention.

Across the two versions provided, the storyline and emphasis are the same: both highlight the prolonged struggle with lower-belly weight after dieting, followed by a reported realization of an underlying hormonal cause. However, the excerpts do not specify the exact diagnosis, medical details, or evidence beyond the personal narrative and general expert guidance.
