    Question Losing stomach fat without losing muscle gains

    I am looking for some tips on how to lose some stomach fat i have accumulated during an attempted bulking phase without losing any muscle i have gained during this period. I'll start with a little background history on myself. Currently I'm 27, 5'10 and weigh about 162 lb. My bodyfat would be around the 10 to 11 % mark, most of which seems to be on my stomach . It took me about a year of working out on and off (around 3-4 days per week, with no cardio) and eating as often as possible to put on about 20 pounds ( i'm a bit of a hard gainer).

    While i'm not at the weight or shape i quite desire (another 20 pounds would be awesome), summer is comming very soon down where i am (Australia) and i want to get a six pack happening as it would really compliment my current body type. It shouldnt be too hard for me to get a 6er (done it before) even though i've only just begun working that area in recent times. I just need some tips now on what i should be doing to lose that stomach fat without doing any harm to my precious and time consuming muscle gains.

    Any input would be appreciated.

    You can't spot reduce fat.
    100% muscle preservation (and even gaining) on a cut is extremely difficult.
    Now start cutting.
