    You may never lose them. If they bother you, look into liposuction.

    This is terrible advice and very discouraging. Love handles are difficult to lose because most people do not property train their core. Focus on true core exercises especially those that engage your inner and outer oblique and you'll start to see them go away. Strength training and building lean muscle around your body will help to get rid of those stubborn fat reserves

    Spot training is a myth. It does not work. You can "tighten" surrounding muscles but as long as there is a layer of fat over them the love handles will still persist. To the OP, the love handles will go away when your body fat has reached a low enough percentage, not before. Your body will decide where the fat comes off of, and unfortunately the love handle area is one of the last areas where fat is lost if not the very last. Just hang in there.
