For me, it's chest, then face (jawbone/neck area), legs, and then what's left gets to the gut.

thighs (wow im such a woman omg), love handles, and then torso.

I went from 6'3" 135 (skinny mofo) 4 years ago to 6'3" 195 these days. I'm not really fat - but I do have a little excess...

Running a couple times a week and weights will hopefully alleviate that :)

Out of curiousity, how old are you and what caused the dramatic change?

Midsection for sure, but also face and neck. I lost about 30 pounds two years ago (from ~205 to 175) and looking at pictures from then is almost embarrassing.

I'm 22, and when I was skinny boy I was about 18. I lost weight that year, and it was mostly due to living in the dorms in college and eating very badly (not enough, and bad food), drinking a lot etc... Also some depression issues etc...

After that negative period of my life I started working out and eating a lot, and got up to about 180 inside of a year.

I've been around 190 for about 2 years now. I think it's a pretty healthy weight for my height. If I was a lean, mean 200 I would be a lot happier with things!

But yeah, I seem to gain weight in my thighs and now torso. It's fine :)

Love handles/gut. Even when I was down into the single digit body fat % from running college cross country I still could pinch an inch on my belly and love handles. I just have some natural fat distribution there that I can't seem to drop no matter how lean I am everywhere else. All bad weight that I add seems to pile up there first, then goes on my face next.

The last place for fat to hide, assuming you've eliminated all the other fat, is above your hips. That's for men. For women, it's their back for some reason.

Like gravity said, above my hips. I'm 5"9 and 150 pounds though, so it's barely noticeable.
