Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Put simply, you cant do that. Targeting fat loss is completely impossible, and targeting fat gain (although a new concept to me), is also impossible. Not including surgery of course.
When you lose/ gain fat, the body determines where it comes from or goes to. This is highly influenced by genetics.
Essentially you have the following choices:
1. You can lower your overall bodyfat. This will eventually make you lose the fat on your stomach and waist. You would need to make a serious effort though, and you will need to maintain your lower bf. You will look normal, but you wont have gained fat on other areas of the body.
2. You can gain weight, and hope that your body will even out. Down side is you will be overweight and theres no guarantee that your shape wont remain proportionally the same.
3. You can accept what you currently have.
Whatever you do dont buy into the old, do crunches to get rid of your stomach fat myth... or any other such variant.
From a health point of view, option 1 is generally the best, and option 2 is the worst. Kind of obvious really. Sorry, but there is no magic formula here.
