@AdamRomain. We don't know all the components of our genetics. We can generally trace them to our grandparents or great grandparents sometimes, the rest is lost, so maybe there is something in your genetics that adds up to making you retain stuff in your buttocks in the same way, let's say, the Bushmen do : store fat there for future use in the dry spells.
As an example, two of my nephews and nieces are flaming red-haired kids, while none of us siblings were that hair colour or even their mother, but the ancestry showed up in both cases with this gene. Interesting. What I mean is that part of your 'problem' might be genetic, so not completely solvable per se.
In the meantime, it would be interesting to see if the developement of your buttocks is due to either sport or the wrong kinds of food ? Have you looked into those? You should definitely ask your GP what they think about diet or genetic predisposition.
One other thing would be to learn to accept something that is particular to you. Easier said that done, I know, but your bottom, though you are self-conscious about it, does not make you nor are you just a bottom. I remember not liking the growth of body or facial hair when I was growing into adulthood, but now I've embraced it because there's no way I can suppress it totally without it making me look weird. I know a bottom is not the same thing as facial or body hair, but in the end, it's how you view yourself and how you handle it that counts. Don't reduce your self esteem to how your bottom looks. Work on other aspects of yourself that are likeable and even enviable. Shift the focus where you CAN do something.
Good luck finding that equilibrium.
