Tummy Troubles

So I've never really been classified as overweight, I think even at my highest (5' 4" and 153ish pounds) I was just at the cusp, but even when I was considered 'light' or 'slim' at 120ish I had a chubby tummy. I started losing weight because my jeans didn't fit and I figured that would help with the tummy chub, a good two or three pounds of fat that just hangs out and gives me a muffin top, but so far it hasn't hardly changed in shape. I'm down to 147ish, now.
Its one of the things I'm most insecure about. I hate swimming and changing in front of people and being nakey with the boyfriend because of it.
Is there something I can do to better incorporate my tummy chub into the rest of my weight loss?

i'd say keep up with cardio to lose fat all around then add some strengthening core exercises to pull your muscles in tighter to hold the chub in haha.0

I'm all belly too.
2kg down and no change in pants yet BUT it seems slightly less hangy and I've noticed from doing 30DS that my muscles are more in shape there and I'm naturally holding it in and standing a lot straighter, which helps the image.
Last time I lost weight I went from 84kg to 67kg and had a bigger tum to start with and it definitly changed in that time.0 -
Thats where I need to loose so if you find the cure, please share!0

You just have to keep losing fat. Stomach fat comes off whenever it decides to come off. You can't train or eat anything that makes it come off faster. Keep losing weight and if you incorporate a solid resistance training program a greater portion of the weight you lose will be from fat.0

you cant target areas for weight loss you just have to burn fat and build muscle and tone up it takes time but you can do it!0
