Short term - too much food

Long term - visceral fat

Too much insulin over a long period of time will stimulate visceral fat storage behind the abdominal wall.

Figure 2a: Visceral fat accumulation, before antiretroviral therapy
Figure 2b: Visceral fat accumulation, four months after initiation of antiretroviral therapy

Just an example of what visceral fat storage looks like. Fat storage was due to medical treament I believe for HIV patient.

So it's from eating too much or drugs? I eat at least 7 good sized meals a day somedays a lot of fat and my stomach could never get that big.

Eating large amounts of carbs over the years will produce the same result.

The Health Risks of Abdominal Fat

Increased visceral fat, which accumulates deep within the abdomen to surround organs like the liver and insulin-generating pancreas, can pose certain dangers to health, especially in those with a body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2. Although men are more likely to be at risk than women of developing certain diseases, both should be aware of the dangers:

Type 2 Diabetes: Studies have shown that adults with large deposits of visceral fat develop lower sensitivity to insulin (insulin resistance). Since these people do not respond to the effects of insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels, they can develop type 2 diabetes.

Good stuff interesting. So going overboard with the carbs is a big cause.

excuse me if this sounds very ignorant, but could it be due to abdominal development?

looking at the pic, the size starts from the sternum which also happens to be where the abdominal wall is.

very heavy squats, deadlifts, etc put a shit load of stress on the abdomen and, along with anabolics, i would think that this area would be prone to the same degree of development of any other muscle group.

No, it would have occured years ago, not just within the last 10 to 15 with insulin usage.

Any way to target that fat storage area for loss? Or is it just like trying to spot reduce?
