You have been exercising regularly and eating healthy but still fail to lose weight and it’s frustrating you but before you lose all hope perhaps you should get checked out for the level of cortisol in your body.
Cortisol is a hormone which helps us react during danger.
Though it keeps danger at bay, but high levels of cortisol lead to ‘cushing’.
According to Wikipedia, cushing's disease is a specific type of Cushing's syndrome caused by a pituitary tumor leading to excessive production of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). Excessive ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce high levels of cortisol, producing the disease state.
Cortisol is produced if you are under constant stress too much of these hormones destroys muscles and alters metabolism negatively which results in abdominal fat.
