1) His belly is bigger than mine. My waist is only 35 inches.
2) He appears to have a nice coat of fat evenly distributed throughout his entire body. That is what I want. Instead, I am gaunt, skeletal and sickly. I wish I had that even coat of fat.
OP you need to take responsibility. You need to take control rather than feeling sorry for yourself or looking for sympathy and avoiding responsibility. You talk (of course--let's see some action for once) as if you're bound to this reality for eternity. What are you really about? Do you really want to change this? It's in your control and not out of it.
Hit the damn gym. Get more defined arms, lose the belly fat by targeting that area too. Takes a little effort and consistency. Don't know if you can handle that. We'll see. It's your choice.

I am a liar and that I need to:
- Stop drinking alcohol and doing drugs. - Stop drinking 5 cups of coffee right before bed. - Quit being a vegan and eat more animal source protein. - Stop eating refined foods. - Start eating avocado, olive oil, grass-fed butter, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds - Lift heavy with deadlift, squat, bench press, core. - Get sunlight during the day. Pitch black at night. Sleep 8 hours.
I'm gaunt with jutting hips and ribs. But then I have this protruding belly.
I've seen a lot of people with what appears to be this thin even layer of fat covering their entire body. Somehow their body has an even layer of fat on their face, wrists, ribs, hips, legs, back....everything...but then their belly is not huge and protruding, it's just that same even layer of fat, you can sometimes almost even see abdominal muscles.
How do these people make their body do that?
I am working on putting on muscle mass by lifting weights to look less skeletal, but it would also help if I could redistribute an even layer of fat over my entire body. Any extra calories that I consume just makes my belly protrude further and it refuses to coat the rest of my body.

Are you per chance asian? I ask because Asians are known to have higher android/gynoid fat ratio, and your 20.1 BMI and 35” waist at 5’11” does suggest a high A/G ratio, probably over 1.5, but you won’t know for sure without a DXA.
There are three common waist measurement sites with no consensus on when to use what: 1) the narrowest (or natural) waist usually between the bottom of the rib cage and belly button; 2) around the belly button; 3) where the pants sit; and for most people those three are in increasing order with the first and third differing by 1-4 inches.
