needing advise

Hi everyone,
I still can't seem to lose the pooch I have on my tummy (just below belly button).
I started this journey because I gained weight while on the depo provera injection, of course on my tummy, hips and thighs. Before this I found it extremely hard to gain any weight.
I am now one kg away from what I was before the depo. I started this journey at the end of July 2011. I have completed the 30 day shred been doing the boost metabolism burn fat, walking, jogging, circuit training and aerobics. I exercise 6 times a week and walk on my day off.
I don't eat very much and I really never have so that hasn't changed at all.
But I have a question the birth control my doctor put me on is the pill monofeme and I know that the pill can create this pooch, i've had a read through some forums, do you think that could be why I can't lose it? I also bloat alot on the pill. Also when I was on depo I had no TOM and so I haven't had real TOM for over a year now I don't see how this can be good for you but my doctor doesn't seem concerned.
I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience, has maybe stopped their birth control to lose the pooch? Or has any reccommendations of what I could change too?
I can't go see my doctor again until payday which is a week away so any advice would be much appretiated. I've considered just stopping the pill but I'm scared of what might happen.

you'll tend to get a MUCH bigger pooch if you stop taking the pills.....

It's purely a body fat thing. Simply up your game in the gym! Lift heavy, do some cardio and eat clean. It will take a bit of time, as your body will consume those fat stores the slowest. Good luck!0
