So been 5 months since starting gym, and i feel great love going and even get grumpy if don't lol problem is not seeing much being lost around my belly and chest.

    Are you in a caloric deficit? That is the only way to lose fat, there is no such thing as spot reduction. The chest and belly fat will only go down when your overall body fat is going down.

    Eating fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current state. You are tracking your calories correct?
