Photo of my stomach relaxed and than photo of me sucking it in.
Ive always had stomach fat, genetics wise I will always carry it just there.
But I want to get rid of the 'Pot belly" look. I'am small everywhere else, so
instead of just looking overweight, I look 4 months preggo and very unproportioned.
Since january, I went from 156 lbs to 125 (from eating low cal and cardio)
but not even an inch was lost from my stomach. I've been trying to take a swing at
heavy lifting, but I have low endurance and strength, so I'm lifting but i would not consider it
"heavy" right now. As far as Diet, Its been cleaned up good (i used to eat nothing but fast food)
I focus on lean meats chicken, turkey, beef, leafy greens (baby spinach), asapargus, avacodo, Eggs, egg whites,
walnuts, almonds, lemons, etc. I dropped eating gluten and bread (i have it maybe like 3 times a month thats it)
I don't eat diary, except occasionally low fat cheese. whey protein shakes, water, sometimes sugar free redbull and one cup
of coffee-no sugar, few times a week (bc im always tired). I've slightly lowered my carb intake, as well as sugar intake. I upped
my fat and protein intake and im doing 1500 calories a day. I also have hypothyroid hasmiotos, (which I take Snythroid daily for)
Looking for anymore helpful tips on how to lose this pot belly, or what
im doing wrong, or even right.

So given this and the other threads you have made we wanted to try and point you in the right direction regarding general strategy moving forward:
1) You should be tracking accurately using a food scale to weigh portions correctly.
2) You should be doing some form of resistance training as part of your exercise program.
3) Monitor what your weight does over the course of the next two weeks and if you show no reduction in body-weight, consider making a slight reduction in total calorie intake.
Structure your meal timing/frequency around personal preference and lifestyle.
Read this thread thoroughly. It's a lot to absorb but many of your questions are directly answered by following the information provided here:
