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?

it is true, you gain and lose fat pretty symmetrically, it would be kinda weird if you gain fat on your stomach first and then on your arms/legs and when losing fat you suddenly lose all your stomach fat but no the fat on arms/legs. Generally if you lose/gain weight multiple times in your life you’ll most likely gain it in the same parts each time because it’s mostly genetics. There are some factors tho that could change this, for example if your hormone levels change (because of puberty, pregnancy, medication, sickness,…) your body might slightly change where it stores fat first
