Does it matter if you have a bit of fat on your belly?

Question by : Does it matter if you have a bit of fat on your belly?
hi i'm 17
(male)

i'm just wondering, is it okay if you have some fat on your belly/body or not?

i've not got a lot, but when i sit down, i can "pinch an inch".

i play rugby, and i go cycling a lot. i'm happy with the size i'm at -i've always stayed around the same size, and i don't particularly want to have a six-pack. but if it's bad for your health to have a bit, i'll get rid of it.

cheers
