    Then you are consuming too many calories.

    Fat loss comes from eating less calories than you burn.

    When you say your waist won't budge, do you mean you're not losing weight at all or you just aren't seeing fat loss on your waist?

    If you're not losing weight at all and you've been calorie counting for more than a few weeks, then you're not logging accurately. If you're just not seeing loss on the waist, you can't spot reduce fat, it comes off where it comes off across the whole body and with a large frame you sometimes can't see the progress in the mirror.

    A one liner like that can only really get responses:
    • Eat less
    • More more
    • Give more information.

    This makes me suspect you either aren't logging, or aren't logging that accurately, so you don't know what you are really eating. Check out this thread and give it a try for a couple weeks, see where you actually stand:
