You can. Your metabolism is at it's peak. From now on, unless you decrease your intake, you will slowly gain weight.
I was 8½ stone until my late 20s, then steadily gained about ½ a stone a year.

You need more testosterone mate, well known to reduce stomach fats whilst you work out and increase muscle mass |

Cut out carbohydrates OP. Sugar and processed foods. Eat a good breakfast and lunch and a small dinner. Protein rich. Plenty of vegetables and water. Walking is good also but I enjoy going to the gym for classes, swimming and saunas.
You can't lose weight from a specific area but it'll come off from all over. Good luck, ps don't lose too much, chunkier men are sexy |

Eat less.
Don't snack.
Make better food choices in terms of sugary and fatty foods.
Eat more food that you make yourself.
Drink less alcohol.
Move more. For weight loss this is less important than controlling what you eat. Moving more, joining a gym and getting into the classes is great for giving your health and metabolism a boost. It will also help you look and feel better.
But you diet accounts for most of the weight you add or lose. |

Thats because it is.
You want to lose belly fat?
You need to one thing and one thing only.
Exercise your abdomen.
Do manageable repetitions of situps. Start with 12, 10,and 8.
Do 3 sets of 30 a day and increase the reps as you build strength.
If you haven't got something that resembles a 6 pack in 4 weeks then you're not doing it right. |

That is nonsense do not listen !!
You cannot spot reduce fat
Sit ups are far more complex to do correctly than most realise and cause more harm than good for most
Sit ups are rather low in both calorie consumption during and post work out thus not anywhere near the most effective use of time for calorie usage
Balanced diet where you eat slightly less in calories than you metabolise them
Many on line calculators but for a 75 kg 42 year old inactive male work on about 2200 cals per day as ones usage so to lose consistent fat you will need only 1800
4 meals a day equals
1 meal
protein 40g 160
Carb 40g 160
Fat 15g 145

"Bike. As much as possible
Buying a bike is a good investment OP.
Not if they all get stolen by lowlife scumbags. The last one I bought was £200 with a £40 lock  "
My bike before this one, they only stole my front wheel, so I had to sit and watch it from the bus while I saved up for a new wheel. After two weeks the council bolt-cropped the chain and disposed of the rest of the bike   |

That will help to lose weight in general, be healthier, and lose more visceral fat.
That wasn't the OP's question though. He wants to target his belly fat which is mostly subcutaneous fat.

He's right though mate... you can not target specific body area fat loss, you can target specific body area muscle growth. |

I would also say do some sit ups. Make sure to stretch well and do a decent few sets. You can make them as easy or as difficult, though I would say to make the first set easy to warm yourself up, then up the intensity toward the 3rd set (say lifting your legs, crunching further up or adding a twist). |

No its not.
My with was but on a strict diet in hospital about 20 years ago with daily exercise in the physiotherapy unit.
She was 29 stone and was in hospital fro a month to lose weight except she put on half a stone during that time instead of losing weight.
That was what made them decide to give her a stomach bypass operation.
After the op she lost 1 stone a month and has been a stable nine and a half stone for the past 18 years.
However her physiology has changed and she cannot stand certain foods and smells for example the smell of roast chicken makes her physically sick.
There is far more to losing weight in many cases than simply eating less which can prompt the body to start laying down fat.

Drink less alcohol, walk more to places instead of driving or public transport if they are within walking distance (I would say about an hour walking), do exercises in the house (Those dance workout dvd's help), and just change your diet slightely to one you can manage. I have started to eat more vegitarian food and fish and have started to lose majority of my weight |

Er yeah and by targeting the promotion of muscle growth he will lose fat in the process.
The army have been doing it with chubby lads for 200 years before people managed to jab Google with their fingers.
It worked for me so I'm just giving my point of view.

Love the way you're all cock-fighting over the losing of fat from specific areas when I said it first on here. The only way that's achievable is through liposuction.  |

"Mr ddc

Now I'm no dietitian, but basic physics shows you cannot increase weight without eating to excess.
Losing weight can be more tricky, since if you reduce your calories too dramatically, your body simply reduces your metabolic rate to compensate. (Hence the dieting 'plateau' with the subsequent risk of weight rebound once you come off the diet)
But of course this is what all the money-making diet and gym programmes rely on. It is also why sensible eating and moderate exercise is by far the most effective long-term way to lose weight, and keep it off.
In a few cases it is also about tackling the emotional reasons behind overeating, but I don't think that's the OP's problem... |

A good figure is 70% healthy diet and 30% excersise. Eat a little every 3 hours, no bread, booze or spuds but drink lots of water. I lost 2 stone and 10" off my belly ( I'm a man) in 9 weeks in 2014. You can do it. It's only will power stopping you. Good luck. |

Apparently that chlorine smell that you get in swimming pools is the reaction of the chlorinated water with urine. 
I think for men the body wants to put fat on around the belly, and you will always lose this last. I look on the positive side: unexplained weight loss would be a lot more worrying. |

Hey mate!!!
It's as simple as dieting don't waste your time doing sit ups and crunch you'll be there forever.
Avoid snacking on junk and replace with fruit or a healthly.
Eat little and often and to high intensity workouts for half an hour a day and after evening meal go for a walk for half an hour |

According to your pic it did not ! You are skinny a sign of less calories consumed than expended, your situps did not make your legs or arms string thin
It is correct that increasing muscle mass will indeed increase bezel metabolic rate, but quads back gluteus and pectoral muscle mass will increase ones bmr far more than 10 grams extra ab mass and the abs are notoriously hard to increase their mass
Perfecting a good dead lift or squat will indeed recruit more abdominal fibers with greater load than any situp , they will also burn quadruple the energy for the same time expended ,build more muscle , and vastly increase the post work out after burn metabolic rate than any abdominal isolation exercise x
Spot reduction of fat is not possible , abdominal crunches etc only slightly increase the muscle size under the fat
Subcutaneous fat, as a fuel is left until last as the body will consume the majority of hidden , visceral fat first , hence why for most even outwardly thin people , the belly is the last area of fat to lose
Hormones and genetics play a part in which area the body leaves till last but usually only obtaining very low body fat levels will permit access to the final abdominal muscle reveal
There are some tricks of the trade but they are not for the casual person wanting to lose a little more fat
The majority have it right
Eat regularly , balanced meals which contain a daily total 10 % less than you expend
Increase your activity levels by any means you enjoy
Reduce alcohol
I found it interesting that above someone suggested that dieting did not work but a bypass did ?
They are exactly the same , thus we know she was cheating on the diet
A diet is simply reducing calorific input till the body recognises a deficit she did not need the bypass, but only to consume the same small amount that her now bypassed intestines allow
It is also to be noted that if a weight reduction diet is being successful, then the very act of weight reduction will reduce the bmr and the calorific intake needs to be adjusted accordingly

It is all about portion control, calories and lots of cardio, you need to eat under maintenance level from 2500kcal, usually 700kcal below. Cut down on the carbs and focus most on protein, for inspiration, check out mike changs 6pack shortcuts on youtube, he have some fun workouts anyone can do at home. Patience is the key. |

No she was not cheating, the food in the ward was controlled by the nurses she had no access to any addition food or drink other than what she was given.
As for a bypass it has an effect on the brain that scientists are only now beginning to realise, after a bypass the body physically rejects certain foods, even the smell of certain foods triggers reaction, including vomiting (this is sometimes confused with the dumping syndrome), the reason is not yet understood, it may be due to the hormonal changes that take place after bariatric surgery
I am not referring to having to sip small quantities of liquid to enable one to eat rather than drinking before a meal but being caused to vomit by the smell of food being cooked.
Such a reaction has not been noticed with other methods of gastric reduction such as the gastric band, gastric balloon or gastric sleeves, though dumping syndrome has.
It has also been shown that such vomiting is not as was once thought caused by thiamin deficiency or indeed vitamin B12 deficiency.
But hey you obviously know more than people who have been researching such things for many years

As loads of people said. Eat less and excercise more. After that it depends on how you eat normally. For me it was cutting out pasta, rice and potatoes. Also eat as little processed food as possible. |

She was eating too much , like it or not
However the scent of food affects the brain it cannot permit the body to not lose weight if the body only consumed a gram of food
I have zero doubt that the bypass affected her brain and the hormones produced increased her metabolism however that does not negate the fact if they had fed her the correct dose of food she would also have lost weight
They fed her too much being cautious that she should need a certain amount of food to obtain enough nutrients
The irony is they cared not that the bypass would reduce her nutrient intake below that which they were feeding
I will guarantee any person drinking 5 green smoothies a day totalling less than 500 cals will lose weight and that is nigh on the equivalent of the nutritional intake after a bypass
Although cutting calorie intake will force the body to reduce its consumption of calories it will always use more energy than it takes to do an activity
If it did not it would be a perpetual energy machine and it isn't

Actually the hormones produced reduced her metabolism, it was first thought that zinc or copper deficiency was a cause for the vomiting (we are surprised you did not mention that) but such deficiency was shown to be not the case.
However some people have a very closed mind and do not understand the complexities that exist, feel free to write a paper on it we are sure you will be applauded by the professionals in the field who have struggled for, in some cases a professional lifetime to understand the reasons behind what is happening.

Not making much sense ?
You suggest her metabolism was x before the OP and lower than x after the OP
Metabolism being the efficiency the body uses fuel to support the life form
Yet you suggest I'm wrong in stating the fact that the bypass reduced the calorific input below that which the body needed and thus needed to draw on fat reserves
I too have been studying this for over 25 years , cut below 7 percent fat and achieved these results with clients
I respect science , and am perfectly aware of what we don't know
But if she had been fed correctly she would have lost weight . That is beyond doubt . I'm also sure she would have been irritable and hungry
I can also explain why having cut from 1500 cals a day to 1200 , I have INCREASED my weight by a kilo and I know not every one in the medial profession would know why ? |

The majority of men put on weight around there stomach / waist when reaching the age of 40, this is when there body slows down the production of testosterone and from this age it continues to reduce so men put on weight and do not feel as energetic as they did in youth which also makes it more difficult to shed the weight.

"I lost eight stones and have kept it off by not eating carbs. Not one nanosecond of exercise assisted that loss.
Year nine now. "
Better to exercise and carry a little weight than diet to extreme and hold none xxx
Our bodys need physical stimulation especially the heart
That said over exercise can be as counter productive for longevity and long term active fitness as none at all

I should have added 'extra' before the exercise thing. I work full time, long shifts and as I'm single, I do everything myself. Nobody needs to do sport or be in a gym to be active. |

Excercising an already extended midrif with crunches and sit-ups can have an adverse effect.
The muscle builds beneath the excess fat and causes it to look even more prominent
A well balanced diet and any cardio that uses legs as primary muscle group is what you need to start off with
Legs are the biggest muscle in the body, and burn most calories once you hit your recommended heart rate for your age range
Once you have taken a little of the surface fat away, then start smashing upper and lower abdominal exercises

Clen is just a stimulant and appetite supresent which has an affinity to kill heart muscle cells. So id advise against it. It's also could increase fat burning however it's minuscule in reality.
Growth hormone is a minefield to buy (unless you know a vertically challenged individual who is happy to sell their prescribed supply) and although good for fat loss it's entirely not worth the money unless you have £2-400 a month just burning a hole
In your pocket.
Eat better. Move more. Drugs are great by if you don't know what you're doing you're at best throwing money down the drain and at worst, well, just google DNP deaths. |

Youll probably find that alot of people's excess weight is water retention.
Just drinking more water and staying hydrated can help you loose a few pounds |

"Apparently that chlorine smell that you get in swimming pools is the reaction of the chlorinated water with urine.
I think for men the body wants to put fat on around the belly, and you will always lose this last. I look on the positive side: unexplained weight loss would be a lot more worrying.
The majority of men put on weight around there stomach / waist when reaching the age of 40, this is when there body slows down the production of testosterone and from this age it continues to reduce so men put on weight and do not feel as energetic as they did in youth which also makes it more difficult to shed the weight.

I do taekwondo 3x a week and skate 6hrs a weekend and have no fat anywhere, but a larger than it should be belly. Fifty sits up, 5 plank reps each morning and its firm, strong, but still no 6-pack washboard.
Stay away from processed carbs (including bread and fruit juice), focus on protein and unprocessed fats (although cheese and butter are ok) plus unprocessed vegetables and fruit and drink mainly unflavoured water.
Bacon (not smoked, not streaky), eggs, mushrooms, tomato, are ok for breakfast, so it doesn't need to be bland. No toast or bread.
Overall, when hungry, drink a pint of water and wait 10minutes, it could have been thirst. If still hungry then protein from meat or veg (nuts) and fats (nuts, avocado) and a bit of exercise and it should vanish quickly and not return.

You don't. I've never directly trained Abbs, yet have then.
Excercising a certain body part will not lead to fat reduction in that area. The body doesn't work that way.
Perhaps you're not a big eater, but it's amazing how many people say that yet have 3-4 cans of pop and sugar in their tea and 6 cans on a night every night. Everything you out in your face counts.
Easiest way (particularly for men) to drop weight is to:
A. Go for a brisk walk in the mornings before anything else.
B. Stop drinking calories.
Two very easy links in a very long and often conveluted chain.
If you can do that for a month then you can look at where your calories come from and other forms of excercise, nutrient timing, macros, blah blah blah.
If anyone needs any actual real world help then drop me a line. I'll try and help out as best I can. |

Belly fat apparently is the hardest to shift as its a different kind of fat to what youd find in other places on the body as its where we naturally store fat i read somewhere but small changes in habbits help like taking the stairs instead of lifts walk to the shop instead of driving things like that and eat better where you can. I used to take the dog for a jog rather than a walk and try to go a bit further or faster each time. Good luck to you tho the hardest part is getting up off the sofa once youve done that its all gravy |

You can eat what you like but remember to burn off more than you eat..cardio weight based routines or cardio body weight routines are good. Just don't do any sit ups as it will make your stomach look bigger. Don't eat carbs after 7-8pm. There's foods that supposedly target the fat on your stomach. Google them. Get a routine for home. If you go to the gym..do more reps and less weights to get a sweat on and tone instead of bulking and getting bigger |

Dont know there is a science behind it but i down a pint of dilute pop/water after every meal and i also very very rarely snack.
My dinner and tea can be fucking huge and i dont put weight on. I am quite active though so that helps
Stay away from fizzy pop, it doesnt hydrate you so you retain water and remember that bread is the devil  |

Everyone is different. I can't take credit for being lean;
You can. Your metabolism is at it's peak. From now on, unless you decrease your intake, you will slowly gain weight.
I was 8½ stone until my late 20s, then steadily gained about ½ a stone a year.
"
"When you're younger, you can eat what you like, drink what you like, and still climb in to your 26-inch-waist trousers and zip them closed. Then you reach that age- 24, 25- your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag, and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard."

A hiit circuit class 3-4 times a week. A pint of cold water first thing in the morning and if you can work it in to your day a 16/8 eating plan in relation to the eating plan you eat your calories with in an 8 hr period and fast for 16 hrs |

It's got very little to do with the volume of food you eat, and a lot to do with the type of food you eat.
Unless you was to get guns then stop the gym, abs are made in the kitchen. High protein low calorie foods are the best, to protect the muscle you do have and keep the metabolic rate high, or even increase it. Keep calories below 1500 every day and it will start to fall off, but protein must be kept high, probably above 120grams a day for you. |

You can't target your body to lose fat from a specific area: it loses it from wherever it is inclined to lose it from.
If you want to lose and sustain fat loss, then it's better to look at the evidence for what works for both loss and keeping that loss off. It can be easy to lose and regain, which is dismaying for many people - so research is vital, so that you're not one of them, who may then undergo a yo-yo effect of loss/gain that's repeated.
Generally a coordinated diet and exercise plan will have greater longer-term success than either of these alone. What that plan is for each of us may differ, according to our current intake and exercise capabilities and interests.
Most approaches will have some people who provide testament to the success of it. None of those people will be the same as you, nor potentially typical of the results that would be gained by the population as a whole.
Seeking expert help is probably the best option for someone who wants to optimise their chances for long term success. |

High protein diet and ignore foods that say LOW FAT they're usually loaded with sugar which converts to fat. Google the 'crossfit' diet follow it for 2 weeks and you'll see results. |

He's right though mate... you can not target specific body area fat loss, you can target specific body area muscle growth.
Er yeah and by targeting the promotion of muscle growth he will lose fat in the process.
The army have been doing it with chubby lads for 200 years before people managed to jab Google with their fingers.
It worked for me so I'm just giving my point of view.

They are taking advantage of what is/are known as "newbie gains". If you are untrained, for the first few months of progressive overload, you can gain muscle in a deficit.
Once they are gone, to gain, you need to be eating in suplus, to lose; in deficit. |

I think one ting we all need to remember is...everyone is different and bodies react differently. I have no idea what this guy is talking about because I didn't gain Jack in the first 3 months. Simply put. Do more cardio based things and eat better. End of |

Cut carbs. Train 6 times a week. Get obsessed. Oh, and the single biggest difference came when I gave up cows milk. You know, that liquid we drink and ferment into cheese that's designed solely to make a 65lb calf into a 400lb cow as fast as possible?! You don't need that blocker in your way of your mission. Lose dairy in all forms. |
