Hello, im 19 years old and i have a belly fat. Im 68kg and i am 1,77meters (21.71 BMI)
At 16years old i was 85kgs.

Now i have a belly fat and im going down in weight in the hope to loose that belly fat.
My objective is at 60kgs. (19.15 BMI)

Opinions?

    Lose, sweetie, not loose.

    You're female yes?

    Nature has designed many women with a layer of belly fat for the purpose of helping to protect the baby growing stuff.
    Even when I got quite severely under weight there was still a teeny layer of fat on my lower tummy. It is what it is. Daresay it could be stripped off eventually but I prefer to have boobs.

    Belly fat has always been my biggest problem. It will probably be gone by the time you get to a Bmi of 19.5 or so. Sadly, spot training doesn't work. You need to reduce total body fat. Just don't get too thin... Part of it is just body type. I will never have a teeny waist (It's the straight body type). We all have our imperfections.

    thanks! this made my ideas a little bit more clear ^^

    Progressive weight training and calorie control

    Women's stomachs are naturally rounded

    OK

    with a medical condition you need to consult your medical team / physio

    you can just drop fat with calorie control but without having the musculature there then you'll just be skinny .. for a male I think that's a low low BMI personally but it's what you want

    I have two herniated discs and I work with heavy weights. You just have to be careful and work with a professional to show you the proper form.
