Hi!
I'm 18 and 5"4' (163cm); I currently weigh about 106lbs(48kg).
I don't calorie restrict but on average I probably eat 1,200-1,700 calories a day, which lets me maintain a weight between 104 and 108lbs. So in that sense I am very happy with my body!
But yet my stomach is a little flabby and I want it to be flatter but mostly tighter. Anyone know how to achieve that? I know that doing Ab workouts alone is probably not gonna do the trick, so would I have to do cardio and lose a bit of body fat? Also, what kind of Cardio should I do?
The only exercise I do at the moment is 50-100 Squats 5 days a week and 5 minutes of Jump Rope 3 times a week (sometimes less if i'm lazy) I also on a very healthy diet, I don't eat any refined sugar or added sweeteners, lots of vegetables and lean protein.
I would be very happy to do more cardio if that is gonna get rid of that little flab

I've just started losing my weight but I've noticed in the process I've gotten tighter in my mid section and mostly it's from the core/about crunch workouts and stationary bike I do at the gym before I switched exercises I didn't notice any change but 2 weeks after the switch there was a noticeable difference for me0 -
Exercise is for fitness, health and physique improvement (gain). Losing body fat is about calorie deficit. Best exercises for that are table push aways and fork put downs.
