Can weightlifting reduce the appearance of Lipedema saddlebags?
I’m a 164cm female weighing about 67kg. My weight is okay compared to my height but unfortunately I have more fat than I have muscles. And most of the fat is concentrated on my upper outer thighs backward”saddlebags”, suspecting Lipedema since I have this pattern all over my legs and have serious water retention. And this is has been steadily increasing throughout the years, and since I have little muscle on my glutes, I was wondering if anyone got rid of this and how they did it. Will increasing the glutes muscle mass on the backside help pull the fat to the back too instead of bulging to the sides..Is it gonna help minimize width of my hips and reduce saddlebags as they shift with the muscle backwards?
I’d appreciate a simple routine that worked for someone with the same issue. And if this method doesn’t work then what does? Cause it’s very difficult to lose the fat in that area specifically, and the fat is kinda hard to the touch too
I don’t want to post my picture but here is an outline of my body shape
