Stubborn belly fat

wenben4321

Hi everyone, I’ve recently lost about 93 lbs. I’m 18 years old, 6’3, and currently weigh 199.5 lbs. With my height and weight, I’m currently at a 25 BMI, which is considered “normal.” However, I still have some belly fat left and it is really concerning me. My goal right now is to get down to about 180 lbs. I’m wondering, is it possible for the bulk of the rest of my belly fat to be gone with only 20 more lbs to lose? I keep hearing that belly fat is usually the last to go and I’m just not sure if losing 20 more lbs is going to be enough.

Bulking implies you are gaining weight, which means fat and muscle. What you want to do, especially since you are young, is follow a well structured lifting routine, have a moderate deficit and eat adequate protein (~160g+)

I think he just meant "the bulk" of the fat left.

OP, we don't know what your physique or body fat percentage is. 20 lbs is a bit of weight, I'm sure you stomach will slim down a bit. How you look will depend on your body fat percentage.

You won't know until you get to your first GW, then you can reassess. Bodies do how they do.
