I've noticed the fat under my left underarm has been increasing and I ignored it at first but now it's making me concerned. I really don't want to go through surgery for this - what can I do to reduce it naturally?

Increased fat under the underarm can be due to localized fat accumulation, poor posture, or hormonal factors. You can try targeted exercises like arm circles, push-ups, and chest presses, along with overall weight loss through a balanced diet and regular cardio. If it persists or grows rapidly, a clinical evaluation is advised to rule out any other causes.
