Hi, Ideal waist for indian women is< 32 inches, men < 35 inches. Fat at the abdomen and visceral fat is quite harmful as it is close to all vital organs of your body this is most harmful compared to the fat located in any other part of your body. Excess carbohydrates like sugars in excess are converted to fat.
