I keep hearing “the first place you gain fat is the last place you lose it”. Is this true? If so, how does that work?

In my experience with dieting and reading about fitness I’ve heard many many times that the first place you gain fat is the last place you lose it. Is that a myth? It sounds like myth to me. If it’s not a myth then the last place you gain fat is the first place you lose it, right?

You body wants to put excess fat in specific places. Under the skin for women, especially on the chest and butt. Under muscle and around organs for men, especially the abdomen. When those get filled up, it starts putting it wherever it can. So you mostly have to get rid of enough everywhere else before you can start losing it where you want. And you can never target fat loss with exercises, only tone and grow the muscle you have there
