You were told correctly, except the part about building muscle around the fat......the muscle will be underneath the fat, and you won't see it. Your stomach will only really get "bigger" if you're doing a lot of weighted ab exercises. That being said, losing fat is really what you should be focusing on a lot more than doing ab work. That's what is going to shrink your stomach.

Likely if you weigh 350lbs there could be some stretched skin/stretch marks. Only one way to find out.....and genetics will paly a factor.
