[|Human|] I am a 61 year old male. Six foot tall and 200 lbs. It seems the last year or so the left side of my abdomen protrudes more than the right. It is in the love handle area. My overall abdomen is soft and there are no lumps or irregularities that I can detect. I have a slight beer gut and was wondering of one side can naturally protrude more that the other with weight gain and age?
[|AI|]  Hi there. With aging what happens is that the general tone of your muscles start become less. That means that your muscles start to become more slack. This generally manifests itself as wrinkles on the face, loosening of the muscles over your arms and thighs etc. So the same process is happening to your abdominal muscles which basically results in people noticing that they have a paunch belly. So most likely this is what is happening to you. Since the area where the love handles are present is quite prominent, this makes it more noticeable when you are concerned. There is no need to worry about it.
