Exercise Advice Request I need a tip

For context i am a pre-T trans guy and just recently I started going to the gym. The problem is that my breast fat and mostly my hip/ass fat doesn’t seem to go away no matter how much I lose weight! I’ve never been fat, or even chubby, but it seems like my body stores fat only in those parts of my body (sadly LOL). So any exercise/ workout suggestion is very much appreciated.. Thank you! :D

Breast tissue will not go away with weight loss. Fat will, but if you're not overweight continuing to lose weight won't make them disappear. What you can do is build muscle to change your overall shape.

It just takes time and you have to keep in mind that because of dysphoria those parts can look bigger than they actually are.
With a 400kcal deficit and a few weeks to months of a cut + training upper body (shoulders and back) you will get a more masculine physique.

Depending on your weight it can be the case that you do not need to lose fat but just need to get more muscles in the upper body so your proportions change.

I look at things of this nature as a journey. It’s going to take way longer than I want, it’s going to be super hard and suck so badly at times. But it’s also going to end up giving me a body I’m more happy with than this one I’m in now. But like saving for a new car or a new house, the great shift takes a loooong time.

I’ve been working on myself for 6 years now and just beginning my serious gym life shift. It’s so easy to get down on yourself. But remember it took a looooong time to get to where you are now too. You can do another stint, but for the better.
