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?

Technically speaking, we both build and burn visceral fat- fat around our internal organs- first. But visceral fat isn’t very visible, so we tend not to notice it as much as fat just under the skin.
