The fat cells are stored between the skin and the muscles and also in deeper tissues called the visceral fat which surrounds the vital body organs. The way in which the person puts on weight depends upon the body type of a particular person.

There are three different body types:

1. The ectomorphs - Those who are slim with slender muscles. They put on weight around their belly without corresponding increase in the arms or legs.

2. The mesomorphs - Those who put on weight around the belly plus arms and legs but usually not on the face.
