Need advice for losing belly fat

Hello,
I just graduated college and I am looking to lose my beer belly that I have gained the last 4 years. Most of it is due to drinking beer and unhealthy food options, but lately I have been eating very healthy. I am 22 years old, 180 pounds, and 6 feet tall. I am somewhat still skinny but my belly is very, very noticeable. I do not eat fast food, I drink a vegetable shake twice a day, workout 5 times a week, and drink 8 glasses of water everyday. Can you help what I specifically can do to help with losing belly fat? Should I bulk up and then get cut and lose belly fat, should I run 4 times a week, etc.?

    Congrats on graduating! Eat a small defecit (aimed at losing 1/2 lb per week as mentioned above) and belly fat (and fat in general) will slowly start to go away. Besides cardio, you would also benefit from incorporating lifting into your weekly routine.
