Losing belly fat is hard. What gives?

[mordekai47]

Going from 96kg to 80kg was easy compared to the stagnation that set in.

My body strongly resists and doesnt want to let go of this fat.

What should I do?
Thanks

Belly fat is always the last to go, but depending on your situation its not always best to try to get rid of it without having enough muscle mass on your frame, otherwise you'll just end up looking like a skeleton. This is why many people can benefit from alternating mass building and fat cutting phases.

Post a photo in good lighting for best advice.

Greedings Op, not sure if you know but the body can't target from where it's going to lose fat, maybe posting a picture will help us determine the right path.

either keep going (lowering your calories is the solution for stalls) or lift on maintenance, get stronger and hopefully build some muscle before attempting to cut again

Dude train properly. You could lose another 20 lbs with whatever training (or none) that you're doing and you're still going to have belly fat. When you have no muscle, any weight hanging off your bones is going to be and look like fat.

But I find the amount of belly fat too much, and I want to see my abs. : /

So should I keep cutting or bulk up? I assume you recommend the latter.

I just dont know how I could be in a better form.

YOU SHOULD TRAIN PROPERLY. Idgaf whether you cut or bulk.

Your fat distribution is normal. You just have a lot of it, including in your chest and arms. The lower the amount of fat you carry the harder it is to lose the remaining. That's the way it is.

Losing belly fat can be difficult because it requires a combination of proper nutrition, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes. Eating healthy, whole foods, exercising regularly, and avoiding processed foods and sugary drinks can help you reduce your waistline. Additionally, reducing stress, getting enough sleep, and managing your hormones can also help burn fat in the abdominal area.

You have a long way to go, you need to lose at least another 30 pounds of fat to even get close to abs. I would definitely keep cutting, at least 15-20 more lbs, then consider just training at maintenance for a while or a very slow bulk to build some muscle, then cut again.

First of all you have to keep this thing in mind that spot fat reduction is not possible.
You have to be just consistent and disciplined!

Cardio helped me, before every strength training I have cardio, 20-30 minutes. Skipping rope, running, cardio exercises. Of course, the rate of muscle growth will decrease. But belly fat will disappear 100% with daily training.

Well, try doing cardio after lifting weights. It worked for me. It does not have to be an intense session. Even a lite cardio will do. For me, I use to cycle my way to the gym and cycle back home It was a good choice. These days I use e-bikes because I my gym is a little far from home and in an up hill area. I don't have the energy to cycle all the way so a little kick from the pedal assist system helps me. You should also try this.

With a 16 kg loss you need to lower your calories by 2-300 per day in order to continue losing
