Anyone struggling with belly fat? What are some good exercises to do?

You can't spot reduce fat, you can eat in a deficit to lose weight.

Unfortunately you cannot control where fat gain goes when you gain. I'm assuming you are gaining since you are in this section. You can lower your surplus and follow a progressive lifting program to help you gain muscle and minimize your fat gain.

If you are trying to lose weight, eat at a deficit, get adequate protein, and continue to follow a lifting program for best results.

Fork put downs and table push aways are great for belly fat.

You can’t choose where to lose fat from ... do just concentrate on losing fat and the belly will eventually go

You can't target/spot reduce fat...there's no exercise you can do to target a particular area of fat, that's not how your body works.

The midsection is primary fat stores for most men and many women. Primary fat stores are a first on, last off kinda deal. You just have to keep losing weight.

Dieting properly is your best bet, training consistency is your second.. that's probably very simply put in a nutshell. Cut carbs to about 30% or less, Increase protein to about 30% or more in your macros - give it a couple months and see what happens.
