Why does armpit fat show up, and why can your body shape change over time? Those who have apple body shape tend to store fat in the upper body: chest, back and upper arms. That can make underarm fat look more prominent. It’s partly in your DNA. Genetics and family history shape where your body stores fat. It’s not as simple as it looks. The armpit is a small area, but that doesn’t make it easy to slim down. Often called “bra bulge,” armpit fat is soft and stable, and it can be stubborn with diet and exercise because of its dense, fibrous makeup.

Not sure if it’s gyno? Here’s what to look for. Gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular tissue in the male chest. It often shows up as a small, firm, rubbery lump right behind the nipple. Common signs: • A dense, button-sized lump under one or both nipples, sometimes tender or sensitive • Puffy or swollen-looking nipples • A fuller, rounder chest shape in more advanced cases Noticing any of these? A proper assessment is the first step to knowing your options.
