How i get rid of “banana roll” fat under my glutes?
I (23f)need advice about getting rid of “banana roll” fat under my glutes.
I’ve had this area of fat for as long as I can remember, probably since I was around 11-12 years old. The thing is, I have always been underweight with a low BMI, so it’s not like I carry a lot of fat overall. It has just always been there, no matter what my weight is.
I’ve been training on and off for about 4 years, but the last 2 years I’ve been much more consistent, working out 2-3 times per week. I mainly do strength training and almost no cardio. My typical lower body workouts include:
Hip thrusts
Romanian deadlifts
Bulgarian split squats or step-ups
Cable kickbacks
Abductions
Right now I weigh about 50 kg (I’m 153 cm tall). I intentionally gained a bit of weight after trying to bulk, but I can easily go back down to around 48 kg, which has been my usual weight.
I eat a normal, protein based balanced diet -not too much, not too little. I feel like I’m doing the right things training-wise. My glutes have definitely grown, but that “banana roll” area just won’t go away.
So my question is:
Is this something that can actually be trained away, or is it mostly genetics and fat distribution?
Would adding cardio, changing exercises, or losing fat overall make a difference? Or is it only possible to be removed with some sort of cosmetic procedure?
I’m really looking for honest, practical advice from anyone.. especially people who have dealt with the same thing.
