Is it normal to have love handles at 14?

Puberty changes how your body grows and where it stores fat, and genetics play a part too. Some people have more softness around their waist than others; it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.

Try not to judge your body by photos or other people’s shapes—teen bodies change at different speeds. You don’t need to diet because of love handles; focus on eating regularly and doing things that help you feel good.
