Not speaking from a science standpoint as it’s not my field of education but it’s shocking how many pounds are in the belly. I’m someone that’s worked out all my life and I have the typical jock build but when I hit 30ish I started getting the typical post-prime belly if I go periods of not working out and watching what I eat.
I literally gain like 25-30lbs and in a loose shirt it’s hard to even tell, it’s nowhere else on my body. I think there was probably plenty of opportunity for Kirk to lose weight there and that wouldn’t really throw anything out of whack
