I’d always assumed I had a decent amount of muscle, so now I’m wondering if I need to build more. Do things like taking a bath every day and massaging the chubbier areas (my legs) help at all?
I looked into it, but the results seemed questionable… I’ll do my best.
By the way, there was also some talk about “one-upping,” and I thought, “What a troublesome person from Kansai,” lol.
Maybe they just wanted to use the term because it’s trendy.
Besides, isn’t something only “one-upping” if you choose to interpret it that way… lol
They’re having fun turning it into a one-upmanship story all on their own.

I think a light massage in the bath can help.
Thick and soft? Squishy? If it jiggles while you’re walking, that’s fat. If it feels squishy when you jiggle it while sitting, that’s normal for everyone, so don’t worry…
Rather than dieting, strength training and stretching will help you achieve a beautiful body. Give them a try if you’d like.

Rather than getting revenge, I cut back on food, and my skinny, muscleless son—who looks like BTS’s V—said, “That’s disgusting.” Apparently, he doesn’t want some shitty woman who’s nothing but skinny. If you want to date a handsome guy, you’ll need to build at least a little muscle. It’s your own fault.
A body like Rola’s would be ideal.

Well, I just wrote what I felt, but if you’re saying that wasn’t the case at all, then I’m sorry for making it into a joke and taking it too far. I’m sorry.
You could’ve just ignored it, but...
If I’d stopped after the first half of my comment, I’d only have to reflect on whether I’d done something wrong. But the fact that I went on to add:
> “A Kansai person who seems like they’d be a hassle (lol)”
Ah, I’m sorry. That was the problem, wasn’t it? That was mean of me. The questioner didn’t mean anything like that at all, so I was in the wrong.
I’m sorry.

I missed the chance to respond to your earlier question, but if you look chubby at 44 kg, maybe you’re on the shorter side? I’m 158 cm too, and I look a bit chubby at 44 kg. I get close to that weight when I eat too much or retain water, so 42 kg is my ideal. Massages didn’t really work for me, though.
Your body fat percentage might also be on the high side. I recommend trying a gym trial session, since they can measure it for you. I’m careful about mine too and try to keep it below 18–19%. I think it’s best to start by reducing body fat through diet and cardio, then do strength training to tone up.
Make sure you’re getting enough protein too. At 44 kg, around 44 g a day would be good.
Dieting is a never-ending battle, so it can be tough, but I hope you’ll feel more confident once you have a leaner figure.

You should use a body composition analyzer to find out whether you actually have muscle or just a lot of body fat.
I’m a big fan of InBody body composition analyzers. The cheapest one costs around ¥30,000, but if you’re serious about losing weight, I think it’s worth buying one.
Baths and massages may help with swelling. If you’re prone to swelling, stretching might help too.
As for the one-upmanship… Just leave difficult people alone.
