「Abdominal obesity, colloquially known as belly fat or clinically as central obesity, is the accumulation of abdominal fat resulting in an increase in waist size. There is a strong correlation between central obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Visceral fat, also known as organ fat or intra-abdominal fat, is located inside the peritoneal cavity, packed in between internal organs and torso, as opposed to subcutaneous fat which is found underneath the skin, and intramuscular fat which is found interspersed inskeletal muscle. Visceral fat is composed of several adipose depots including mesenteric, epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT) and perirenal fat. An excess of visceral fat is known as central obesity, the "pot belly" or "beer belly" effect, in which the abdomen protrudes excessively. This body type is also known as "apple shaped", as opposed to "pear shaped", in which fat is deposited on the hips and buttocks.

Slang terms
Several colloquial terms used to refer to central obesity, and to people who have it, refer to beer drinking. However, there is little scientific evidence that beer drinkers are more prone to abdominal obesity, despite it being known colloquially as "beer belly", "beer gut", or "beer pot". One of the few studies conducted on the subject did not find that beer drinkers are more prone to abdominal obesity than nondrinkers or drinkers of wine or spirits.Chronic alcoholism can lead to cirrhosis, symptoms of which includegynecomastia (enlarged breasts) and ascites (abdominal fluid). These symptoms can suggest the appearance of central obesity.
"Love handles" and "spare tyre" (or "spare tire") are colloquial terms for deposits of fat around a person's midsection, especially visible on the sides over the abdominal external oblique muscle. Love handles are visible deposits on each side of the abdomen or lower back (that a hypothetical lover might grab to pull the subject into an embrace); a spare tire appears to encircle the abdomen (thus resembling an automobile tire).
"Muffin top" is a term used for a person whose midsection spills over the waistline of his or her trousers in a manner that resembles the top of a muffin spilling over its baking pan.
"Pot belly" is another colloquial term used to describe a person who has an excessive amount of abdominal fat. This is especially pronounced and visible over clothing.」
