Skinny body with big stomach, help!?

So some history here is that I have always been ultra skinny. I was ridiculed for years. I was around 100lbs from teenage through early 20s. I'm 31 now and have finally hit 120lbs. I am starting to notice my metabolism slowing down, but all the extra weight is going to my stomach. I used to have a six pack at 12. Since about 13, my stomach has always looked bloated after entering "womanhood." After that, it kept getting bigger, but I could not pinch any fat on it; it was just hard and bloated looking, not a pretty sight. Recently, my body has been storing fat there as I am aging. Honestly, I like the amount of "padding" that's on there now and definitely don't want to lose any weight, but I do not want this bloated looking stomach anymore. Is it possible to strengthen the muscles, building muscle memory to where it would hold all my guts in and not protrude? I don't want to lose fat or have a muscular stomach, just a flatter one. Have you ever heard of this? Suggestions?

    You could try Pilates. Essentially, all Pilates exercises are abdominal exercises, working from the powerhouse and they zero in on the abdominals, build your core strength, and flatten your stomach.
