I lost a good amount of weight but my belly still hasn't budge :( it looks bigger now that I lost weight. Is this still a diet related thing or exercise will get rid of it?

    No specific exercise will eliminate fat. Heavy lifting and a moderate deficit, high protein will help to reduce body fat but where that fat comes off is purely genetic. I had to lose about 40 lbs before I started seeing progress on my stomach. Because I was losing elsewhere, it made my stomach appear bigger, though it wasn't. If you're very close to goal, I would just make sure you're losing very slowly and incorporate some form of resistance training. If you can't lift heavy, body weight exercises like you are your own gym would be beneficial too.
