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.

"Everyone thinks they're on their way to single digit body fat as soon as they see a blurry four-pack in the right lighting.Your final body weight at 5-6% will be a lot less than what you think.Talk to me again when you get in contest shape." I'd be willing to say that 95% of people on this forum accomplish nothing in years, don't be one of those people. It's sad,they seem to have the knowledge many don't but can't utilize it.

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.My Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=4249583
