My belly looks like I'm pregnant - but I'm a man

I'm a 40 years old man. I was never obese, actually my BMI was always on the lower side. In recent years I wasn't very active. For a couple of years now my belly looks like I'm pregnant. It's not fat, it looks more like a balloon. I don't have any fat on other parts of my body. Last year I had some reflux issues and I had gastroscopy but they didn't find much except mild gastritis. A few months back I started working out, running, going to the gym, eating healthy. I gained some muscles and all that and I expected the belly would shrink also. But it didn't! It's still the same size. I don't understand, what else could be the issue?
