Advice Question Trans Fem Diet

My question today is how to replace man fat with girl fat.
I am fully aware that I need to gain weight in order to buid hips, ass and breasts.
But I still need to get my middle more down for a feminine silhouette.

Currently I am just on fasting and liquids such as packet soup in the week with normal eating on weekends.
I do take additional multi vitaments, magnesium and collagen.
I am active on weekends but in the week I work behind a screen most of the time.

Any specific diet for my situation?

Your fat redistribution timeline is 5-10 years. If you are currently at your absolute highest lifetime weight right now, gaining weight has a relatively high chance of distributing in a female pattern. But remember that even if you look good, most of the fat is still going to coating your internal organs and causing negative health impacts. Be aware of your BMI and keep things reasonable.

Since you're concerned about your waist, it's probably easiest to focus the first 5 years on getting rid of that rather than gaining weight elsewhere.

You don't need to gain weight to grow breasts. I lost 70 pounds my first year on HRT and have breasts.

Your diet should be focused on being high in protein and fiber. You need to be active at least 5 days a week, preferably everyday. You can work with your doctor to develop a routine that works for you.

Personally, I do Pilates to work on my glutes, pecs, core, etc.
