So I'm 27 years old now and getting belly fat.. ..

[cam1john]

I use to be lean, never gained weight. Always 6'3 180ish. Now I'm 210, which is fine, but the weight seems to have gone to my belly. It seems that ever since I quit smoking cigarettes, my appetite has increased x5. I picked up drinking a bit more with the deletion of cigarettes, which is probably my main problem. I've cut back drinking, but the fat isn't going anywhere.
I don't know how to work out really...specifically for belly fat loss.
So u guess I'll go to the gym and run on the treadmill, what do I do next?

To hell with the treadmill.

Get yourself on an established lifting programme (check out the Workout Programs stickies) and start tracking your calories/macros. Also go read the Nutritional section stickies.

Good luck.
