Your problem is excess subcutaneous fat and probably some excess skin. Your
only solution to the fat, if you don't want to lose any more weight, is
liposuction. All the muscle toning and abdominal crunches in the world won't
make your gut go away - you'll just have a bunch of fat and skin over a very
well-toned abdominal wall.

And, no...your clothing has not "shaped your stomach" in any way. You just
packed away more fat around the abdomen (common in men) as you gained
weight.

Your only options for getting rid of abdominal subcutaneous fat are
weight-loss or liposuction.
