No problem bud I think your problem is a bit of bloating on the stomach area. This is mostly caused by people being sensitive to starchy carbs and sugar.

Cut out the following and report back in a week:

Pasta, Cereal, Rice, Breads, Fruit and anything with any form of sugar in it especially HFCS.
For Vegetables: Beets, carrots, potatoes, corn
For Legumes: Lentils, navy beans and chick-peas

How did your friend conduct your bf test?

Everyone stores fat differently, maybe you just one of those blokes who stores most of it in the ab region.

You can post a pic and maybe the guys can advise you further.

If its access water, I usually up my water intake!

Best of luck!

That's enough water.

What's your currently calorie intake?

When you flex you abs are they still blurry or are they only blurry in the relaxed state?

I dont have the measurements with me i will grab them when im home. Kelevra when i dont flex they blury wen i flex they fine just the skin looks like jelly, lol. the weird thing is i pinch the skin covering my lower abs often during the day and some times it feels thicker other times thinner. someone said to me it could be estrogen build up and i must take a whole bunch of things but im skeptical

You simply need to get to a lower body fat%. There is no mystery about this. The abdominal area is the last area on men to store excess fat in 9/10 guys. You can have pretty shredded legs and delts but still have no sixpack. It's normal, especially for guys who have not been super lean for a long time or ever had a sixpack. Then it is much harder. Once you get clear abs it is easier to get them back again. Similar to how muscle memory works.
