Stomach issues

Yep... fill out your mfp goals, set your rate of loss to 1lb or .5lbs a week, eat the calorie goals it gives you, log all of your food accurately by weighing everything solid and measuring all liquids, and be patient.

Nothing will cause you to lose fat in one specific area. You have to lower your overall bodyfat percentage and eventually your body will get around to losing it from your genetically and hormonally predetermined problem areas.

Additionally, exercising one area will not make you lose fat their either. If you choose to exercise, exercise for overall health and let your caloric deficit deal with the fat loss.

I've personally found that building muscle in the region (and I mean building the back, glutes and abdomen via weight lifting) helped me be way happier with my stomach even though there was still some fat. But in general, eat at a deficit, and your body fat % will decrease (especially if you lift weights too)

Yep! Building muscle in your upper half and lower half makes your stomach and waist look smaller... and building muscle burns more calories! Which will reduce stomach fat. Yay! What a happy cycle!
