It doesn't really distribute.  It's not like blowing up an inflatable where if you squeeze one side, the other side expands.   Where your body stores extra fat is a fairly arbitrary process and there's probably a big genetic factor.  A lot of us have 'pear-shaped' written in our DNA and there's sweet FA we can do about it.   Building muscle is a little more predictable so if you do some strengthening exercises you could influence the outcome slightly.  

I wonder as well.  My stomach is growing but my chest still looks so bad!!  what if one cannot exercise??  i am only gaining in belly?

Your chest will probably catch up at some point.  But no-one's completely symmetrical  and few people are 'perfectly proportioned' - whatever that is.  Best clue to your eventual body-shape are your parents and other members of your family.
