Maintaining a healthy weight, while losing remaining fat.

duddysdad

At my lowest weight I was 179. For perspetive, I am 6'5", 36 years old, male.

I wasn't completely happy with my body, I still had some fat around my stomach, side area that I would have liked to get rid of. I've been advised not to go any lower. I am currently a bit higher since I've gained some weight. When I get back down to around 180, I probably shouldn't go lower, but how would I be able to maintain at that weight but still lose the remaining fat? I have a nice set of resistance bands I can use, but would not be able to access a gym. I can do body weight exercises.

Do I just eat at a maintenance level and work my muscles, and would the fat slowly go away while maintaining my weight? I know it is a slow process, but I want to have a lean body without having to go lower.

My (basic) understanding is that if you maintain and do something like calisthenics you should burn body fat and see some definition. If I'm wrong someone here will shoot me down I'm sure. Alternative is to get some heavy weights at home.

Eat at maintenance, be sure to get plenty of protein, and lift. It just takes time.
