Since you have so little to lose you might want to try recomposition http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10177803/recomposition-maintaining-weight-while-losing-fat/p1
Aside from diet. It's much harder to get a flat stomach after having kids (it was for me) but it can be done. My third child is 1 yr old and seriously my stomach hasn't looked this good in 8 years (just before I had my first baby). I don't follow a structured lifting program (limited equipment at my gym), but I do the circuit, progressively add more weight and limit my cardio to 1/3 of my gym time. I've been at this for 7 months now, it's a slow process but I'm loving the results.0 -

@janjunie thanks for your reply
I still have 15 pounds to lose.. is it time for recomp or not yet?
Oh I think I misunderstood, your profile said you have 2 lbs to lose so I was going by that. Maybe you aren't ready for a recomp just yet, but don't let that stop you from lifting. Eat at a slight deficit and lift to preserve your current muscle mass. This is what worked for me while I was losing the baby weight.
A lot of people on this forum will suggest following strong lifts 5x5, new rules of lifting for women or some other progressive lifting program. If you have access to the equipment and it interests you, I'd suggest it as well.

Give yourself a break, you've just had a baby and you're already at pre-pregnancy weight. Amazing
Your body has just been through an enormous transition - love yourself first and foremost and for the new scars and marks you've been given. I would also suggest - if you have the time - to focus on strength based work outs going forward. Good luck0
