I think I'm "skinny fat" HELP!!

So I'm a newbie to the site but I've recently went from 150lbs-119lbs(in the past 4-5months) I realize it seems pretty underweight for my height however I am very slim but can't seem to lose this last little bit of lower belly fat aka the dreaded 'pooch'. I usually do 45 mins of cardio 4 times a week and BOSU ab exercises along with resistance band exercises and an abs boot camp class at my local gym. I'm becoming skin and bones everywhere else besides there. Someone HELP (ps I eat a healthy low carb diet)

    Perhaps you have unrealistic expectations of what a non photoshopped female body looks like

    Eat at maintenance and lift heavy weights.

    All of that.

    It is hard to say accurately without pics but you sound like you have a pretty normal fat distribution...

    Try Pilates. Great for core work (most of the strength from the work you do in Pilates comes from your core)...Try this site. Her beginner's workout calendar is a great intro.
