YSK: Anterior pelvic tilt can make your stomach look bigger than it actually is
Why YSK: Anterior pelvic tilt (APT) is a common postural pattern where the front of your pelvis rotates forward, increasing the arch in your lower back. One effect of this is that your abdomen can appear to protrude more, even if you don't have much abdominal fat.
This doesn't mean that everyone with a stomach that sticks out has APT, nor does it mean APT is necessarily a medical problem. However, posture can influence how your body looks from the side, and a forward tilted pelvis can make the lower belly appear more prominent.
APT is often associated with prolonged sitting, weak abdominal/glute muscles, tight hip flexors, or a combination of factors. Some people also naturally have more anterior pelvic tilt than others.
