The Four Body Types
The Four Body Types you see in the above image are Generalized. A Body Type Two (BT2) can look Nearly Identical to a Body Type One (BT1), a Body Type Three (BT3) like a BT2, Body Type Four (BT4) like a BT3, and such -- especially the younger one is.

The Four (4) Body Types - Science/Scientific Data Summary*
A Body Type One (BT1) is the most balanced relative to all of The Four Body Type. A Body Type One has a high probability of being symmetrical. A BT1 usually requires much less maintenance in terms of Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle to manage and keep healthy. Avoiding obesity is very likely. Skinny fat is unlikely, especially earlier in life. A Body Type One has fully developed muscles/mass and likely is well defined, or easy to attain full definition with minimal effort.
A Body Type Two (BT2), well taken care of, can look almost identical to a BT1. Although a Body Type Two has tendencies to be less symmetrical. A BT2 usually requires more maintenance than a BT1 in terms of Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle to manage and keep healthy. Obesity tendencies increase relative to a BT1. At least some skinny fat is likely. A BT2 has mostly developed muscles/mass and likely less definition than a BT1. Fully defined status is possible by building muscle/mass. However, keep in mind that using weight lifting/free-weights, machines, or other such conventional repetitive activity means once the repetition stops, the muscle/mass readily is lost.
A Body Type Three (BT3) Body is usually much less symmetrical and requires much greater effort in terms of Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle to manage and keep healthy. For a Body Type Three, avoiding obesity can be very difficult, as even when skinny, normal weight obesity is common. Skinny fat, in general, is very likely. A BT3 has much less developed muscles/mass and has a much harder time achieving defined status of any degree. Fully defined status is likely not really possible with conventional muscles/mass building effort. Keep in mind that using weightlifting/free-weights, machines, or other such conventional repetitive activity means once the repetition stops, the muscle/mass readily is lost.
A Body Type Four (BT4) Body is the least balanced of all body types and typically not symmetrical, especially as it ages. A Body Type Four likely requires monumental effort in terms of Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle to successfully manage and keep healthy. Avoiding obesity entirely is very likely impossible, as even when skinny, normal weight obesity is very common. Skinny fat, in general, is extremely likely. A BT4 has mostly to fully underdeveloped muscles/mass. Fully defined status is very likely impossible with conventional muscle/mass building effort. Keep in mind that using weigh training/free-weights, machines, or other such conventional repetitive activity means once the repetition stops, the muscle/mass readily is lost.
