Answers:
Subcutaneous fat = squishy because its just deep to the skin surface but superficial to the abdominal muscles

Inter peritoneal fat = hard because this fat surrounds organs but is deep to muscle

We generally see the former mostly in women and the later in men, but there is a huge variance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

An over simplified answer to this is actually the placement of the fat - "beer" belly's that are hard have fat under the muscle skin,muscle, fat,

"beer" belly's that are soft and mushy have fat between the skin and the muscle - skin, fat, muscleWww@Answer-Health@Com
