I’m 6’4 340lbs. I have a large gut (cuz I’m fat). I have friends who have the same stature but are flabby and soft.im a solid guy. Sure I have some Dunlop syndrome but for the most part all my fat is in my chest and gut.
I don’t understand how the body works.

This is visceral fat, which is the most important kind to lose for health reasons. Its fat around your internal organs aka your viscera. The other kind of fat we generally refer to is subcutaneous fat which is the jiggly stuff on top of your muscles.
Most likely, it’s your diet.
You should consider the amount of carbs and sugars that you’re taking in. Too much will make your belly swell up from internal pressure. That’s why it feels hard.
Consider cutting down on your carb/sugar intake.
Women tend to place fat on the outside of their organs packed mostly around the waist, hips and stomach where it hangs like saddle bags for endurance provisions while walking and raising kids. Men pack the fat in and around the organs where it’s less of an encumbrance and can be accessed more quickly for action like spearing woolly mammoths. Also, if you drink booze, even if it’s low carb, the liver builds up fat around it from processing the alcohol as well as enlargening in size to deal with the added workload. Some people end up with livers the size of footballs. Amazing organ. The good news is, because men’s fat is stored so much on the inside, it’s easier to burn (as intended) when you do exercise.
Simply put, your fat is on your internal organs. Your stomach muscles are getting pressurized outward from it and feel hard as a result. I’ll guess you have a hard time breathing deeply too?
It’s called visceral fat, and it’s worse for you then subcutaneous or skin fat.. the usual flabby fat. If you start losing weight, it will be the first fat that starts disappearing.
I’m pretty sure it’s because the majority of your fat is sitting under your abdominal muscles instead of distributed around, on top but under the skin, the rest of your body. And from what ive read, your kind of fat is more dangerous than general wide spread fat.
