Belly Fat

Hello everyone! I'm new here. I've already lost all of my weight. I've gone from 165 to 121, but I need some help with my belly. I work out 5 days a week doing about 45 minutes cardio and 30 minutes weights and I can see a difference everywhere but my stomach. What can I do to get rid of it?

You can't spot reduce fat. At this point your best bet is probably to focus on strength training and building muscle before trying to cut any more fat.0

Do you mean cut out cardio and just lift weights?0

cut your cardio to 15-20mins and your weights up to an hour and lift heavy not the 2lb dumbbells0

Nono, keep doing the cardio, but add high reps (10 -15) with 3 to 4 set for each major muscle group for resistant training( or lifting weights)0

Belly fat won't go away with exercise alone. Most of it's diet. Clean eating helps, too.0

I'm gonna start cutting cardio tomm. I don't just lift 2lb dumb bells ....I lift pretty heavy for my weight. I guess I'm not targeting my stomach right. Do you have any suggetions?0 -

hmmm! That may be true in my case. What do you mean by clean eating? I eat fairly well but do have a little sugar everyday and I do drink alcohol a few times a week.0 -
Keep up the great work! I would say add more water and fiber from fruits and vegs. The best fiber is from spinach and berries. Second best fiber is broccoli and apples.
In my opinion***0 -

I agree with his suggestion. When you say your lifting, what type of things are you doing? I'd suggest doing dead lifts and squats. I've been doing this (among other exercises but i feel these are the best full body) and it's done WONDERS for my midsection.0 -

Thanks! I drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit but guess I need to add more veggies!0 -

Also excess carbs are stored as fat... Probably a big factor in why you still have a belly. They don't call it beer belly for nothin lol0 -
what core work are you doing?0

I have thought maybe I haven't lost enough weight, but I'm 5'5 and weigh 121 so not sure how much more to lose.0 -
what core work are you doing?
I do planks and 50 sit ups with 5lb weights 5 days a week.0 -
