How do I (45f) get my husband (44m) of 5 years to stop grabbing my belly fat?

When my husband and I first started dating I was pretty fit. Not thin, but fit. During and after covid restrictions, I stopped working out. I got depressed and gained weight very quickly in my midsection and arms. The more weight I gained, the more issues I had like foot and back pain. Being over 40 doesn't make it easier to stay fit. My stomach is huge and I am so insecure. I am heavier than I have ever been I my life. Although he never insults my appearance with words, he keeps grabbing my belly and arm fat. He tells me he loves it. I can't stand it! I feel like he is making fun of me. I know I need to lose weight, but he is getting on my nerves with the fat grabbing. I move his hand to my butt or boobs. He moves it right back to my fat stomach. I snap and tell him to stop because I'm insecure. We always get in a big argument. He feels like I am pushing him away, then tells me to grow up! It doesn't matter how much I try to explain it to him, he will not stop until I get pissed. Then he gets pissed, even threatening divorce. Why can't he just leave my fing stomach alone? Am I out of line? Am I the only female who doesn't like their belly fat touched? I hate it! I am too insecure and feel like he is making fun of me.
