Chances are high that he has abdominal obesity (visceral-adipose-tissue and subcutaneous-adipose-tissue), assuming no other medical condition has been isolated. In the presence of abdominal obesity, fat loss is difficult without selective cortisol inhibition (assuming proper diet and exercise). Remember, the key is to selectively inhibit cortisol (via 11ß-HSD type 1 inhibition), not annihilate it! Without selective cortisol inhibition, abdominal fat loss will be a challenge. Besides, insulin sensitivity might be impaired; the testosterone:cortisol ratio might be compromised; and the markers of cardiovascular and endothelial functions may be depressed.
