Visceral fat can cause this (especially in men), but it's usually a side-effect of being overweight and it sounds like you describe yourself as looking 'malnourished'. https://www.webmd.com/diet/what-is-visceral-fat
There is at least one type of malnutrition, "Kwashiorkor", caused by protein deficiency that can cause something like this also. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23099-kwashiorkor
But, disclaimer, I am not a doctor, so best advice is to get checked out by your healthcare provider.
