10.8% Body Fat and STILL Have Belly Fat, HELP?

I weight train 2 days a week for 45 minutes (total body) and swim 2 days a week for an hour with one 15 minute HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) set.

I eat very healthy, and my diet is composed of a lot of protein (45%), low healthy fats (30%), and very low carbs (25%, none of the bad ones). I also drink a lot of water and green tea.

I started out at 195 and got down to 176 and now back around 180. My body is more toned but I still have fat in my stomach area that I can't seem to shake and I don't feel like I'm making anymore progress.

I drank a lot in college and developed a slight beer belly, but it was never very large.

I am now at 10.8% body fat and most forums say I should be able to see my abs but I can't. I mean I can kind of see them barely if i look in the mirror at the right angle but that is it.

Please Help, I don't know what to do. Am i being impatient? I've been at this since September. Maybe I should take a fat burner?

Thanks in Advance.

Let's see some pictures, I'm pretty sure you're not 10.8% body fat.

EDITED!

10.8% as measured by who/what?

That is usually the problem...

Let's see a picture and some measurements... true tape measure measurements.... chest, around widest part of belly, narrowest part of waist....flexed bicep...

Odds are that you aren't at 10.8% yet.

Probably not 10% then. Probably more around 13 to 15. Post a picture of no way to help you imo.

Take a cycle of Animal cuts and be patient you are doing great.

Only people who doesnt squat or deadlift are the ones who cant see most of their abs when they get to 10% BF. That or those who dont lift weights at all.

Post some pics to be sure. I think the problem might be the calculations/caliper reads being inaccurate.

I started to do deadlifts last spring and my upper abr are in and about six more weeks of cutting for the rest, and still complete deads once a week.
