Try DHEA first, which is a pre-cursor to testosterone. This is cheap enough and readily available at any health-food or drug store (25mgs twice a day should do it).

Personally, I wouldn't mickey-mouse with testosterone, and if your levels are normal (as you say), you can forget about any doctor giving you any (unless, of course, you link up with a genuine QUACK).

As far as " ... a protruding gut ... you generally see in people over 50 years old ..." goes, AHEM! Lay off the cheese-burgs, pizza and beer, and do sit-ups: simple solutions for seemingly complex questions.
