Help with losing my stubborn belly fat

A little background to better assist you assist me :happy:

When I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of the year I was 191 pounds. This was my weight in January, but I didn't start eating right and working out until March and by that time I somehow went from 191 to 185. I am not down to 143. The weight is coming off even slower now, but I'm fine with that. As long as I can see progress, i'm not going to stress. My goal is to get down to 130.

Here's my problem, although I've lost 48 pounds, my stomach doesn't seem to want to get with the program. I can tell a change in my belly fat from the time I start up until now, but it's not enough. I want to get my stomach flat, but wit only 12 pounds left to lose to reach my goal I don't see how I'm going to do that. For the past 90 days I have been doing Jillian Michael's body revolution and lost about 25 pounds. Prior to doing BR I did a few other of her DVD workouts. Now that I'm finished with the 90 days I am starting over and I'm also trying to run. I am the worst runner ever, but each time I run I can see the progress that I've made. I'm eating healthy and drinking plenty of water (pretty much all I drink), and I workout 6 days a week. I run once, maybe twice a week. As I get better I would like to run more often, but knowing my track history with running I don't want to push myself too hard in the beginning.

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of my belly fat? I was thinking I need to increase my cardio to burn off the fat.

Thanks for any and all advice and I'm pretty much new here, so feel free to add me as a friend

Couple of things:

1) you can't spot reduce, your body with unfortuantyl will decide where and when it wants to lose fat.

2) Increasing cardio to burn more fat is both stupid and wrong. They way to increase the loss of fat is via increasing of resistance training i.e. weight lifting. While you have been losing weight, the weight loss hasn't been soley from fat its from fat and lean body mass i.e. muscle.

You may be suffering from whats called skinny fat, if you have done little to no resistance trainging you have been losing lbm and fat. What lifting does, is tell your body to keep hold onto as much lbm as it can and to use fat stores as energy, this then decreases your bf% while mainting your lbm.

I cannot tell by your name if you are male or female. I have issues with stomach fat. My belly is larger than the rest of me due to childbirth and having a diastasis recti - separation of the abdomen. I have to do specific exercises to tone this part of my body and not do any crunches as they make it worse and separate it further. I cut out bread and have to engage my TVA (transverse abdominal muscles) constantly.

If this is familiar to you then you need to do a specific set of workouts to tone and draw back this part of your body. If you are male then I do not know and if you are without a child it can still apply if you became very overweight but I doubt it.

Anyway just trying to help
