    I would begin a progressive strength training program, if you haven't already.
    When I wanted my stomach tighter, I ate at a deficit and lifted heavy.

    You can't spot reduce. Meaning there are no exercises that will shrink fat from a specific area. Fat will be burned from wherever you are genetically predisposed to first. The abdomen is notorious for being one of the last places to reduce fat. Stick with a calorie deficit and weight training, and you'll make progress.

    Pretty much this. You also might be dealing with lose skin that might tighten over time, but might not.

    You might need to lose more fat overall to be able make that area smaller. Also doing strength training will tighten up the muscles around there.
