While I know you can't exactly target one specific area to lose when your losing weight and I also understand the eating in deficient in order to lose weight... what are some suggestions for exercises that will strengthen the stomach and help make the belly fat disappear faster

I am 5' 11"
and I currently weight 215

I am a Marine Veteran so I used to work out and know how to.. just need some support and suggestions

Thanks

    Look up some guides on YouTube... it's important that you get the form correct for each exercise.

    If you are on a progressive load training program that focus on the compound lifts, you probably don't need any accessory ab work. I just throw in hanging leg raises when I am bored. Abs are made in the kitchen

    Any type of structured progressive lifting program that incorporates the big compounds (squat, deadlift, bench, overhead press) will strengthen your core and preserve muscle when in a deficit.

    Well I know it may not make it disappear faster.. I know it will come with continued weight loss but looking for ideas on how to strengthen the muscles that will help burn it off... and yes it would certainly help my posture which I know I really need to work on.. so thanks to everyone for your replies.. I look forward to hearing more from everyone.
