Why am I gaining weight in the wrong areas?

I use to weigh 132 lbs but I lost 20 lbs from stress and smoking weed. I've been trying to gain weight by eating more because now my legs, butt, and breast are smaller but all the fat goes to my stomach, face, and arms. Why???

    Because that is your genetics if you just cram food in and don't exercise. Exercise can help control how you gain weight (as in adding muscle weight as opposed to body fat weight).

    Because that is what starvation diets cause. When you dropped 20 pounds off of a 132 body weight, your body went into starvation mode and now your body is taking what you eat and storing it wrong.

    You need to find some exercises to build muscle and tone the tummy. This will redistribute the problem.

    It will prematurely age you and lower your IQ, if you even care about that.

    Have you been watching Amy Schumer? If so, you may be infected with Cultural Marxism. In all seriousness, have you tried working out? Body builders get fat, then turn the fat into muscle. What they can't burn off with exercise, they do with fat-burning and diarrhetic drugs. The point is that you have to exercise to burn fat, and exercise may not burn it all. Smoking weed also isn't good for stuff like that. It will prematurely age you and lower your IQ, if you even care about that.

    Well first, those are common areas for fat to be stored in, and if you are losing weight then that is where it should be taken from. Secondly you are smoking weed, which physically isn't very healthy. Try eating healthy stuff like fruits and vegetables.
