I thik the issue is the spine is bent kind of starngely and the body doesnt seem to stretch with it. the body seems like tube that was bent when it doesnt really work like that. the chest cavity is too thin.
like, there doesnt seem to be a ribcage
and since the body isnt a tube, the skin stretches over the ribcage , which is like the same width all the time onto the hips which are also the same size all the time, so the waist should seem like real thing from the side or something
gosh i dont know
it's hard for me to explain but I found a kickass refrence image for you

I did a drawover. The other dudes beat me to it because I was drawing. The main problem for me was that the human body, especially a thin, bendy one, is all bony and angular. Your guy's torso looks like a snake.

Note to self, then: Use photo refs again.
However!
The character does have a bit of a 'belly' of sorts. A thin, bony chest with a bit of belly fat. I can see what I've done wrong now (Thank you all so much! >w<) but how would I express, in such a pose, bit of a portly belly?

you just add some pudge to the tummy.
Like the picture I posted is of a girl witha flat tummy. If I for example did the same pose you could see where I have a bit of fat right above my hips.
the skin gets stretched but not the fat.
So it would be where it normally was on the stomach, kind of above the hips, with the body a bit less defined perhaps.
is the character supposed to have a belly in the picture you've posted?
because he looks very thin.

He is.
But I was assuming that the flesh and fat would stretch evenly to soften the curves and take the angularity out of the body. That's why he looks, as was previously stated 'like a tube'. As well as 'thin'. He's not fat! Certainly not. He's just got a cute bit of budge to soften out his form and little muscle to speak o for being so light. He doesn't lift more than forty pounds? Only weights thirty-eight (bird->Hollow bones) so there's barely any muscle on him. Just a thinnish layer of fat and some paunch at his belly.

well, in making him tube like you've sort of implied that her doesn't have a normal skeleton.
i say take as much information from that ref Snakes posted as you can. You can clearly see that although the spine is extremely flexible, certain structures, such as the rib cage don't really change shape and end up making the body sort of fold rather than curve like a slinky.
