Hi. Been trying to solve my obnoxious beer belly + APT for quite some long time. Been finding contradictory opinions (avoid/do more squats, do or don't do planks...), even through Reddit and different bodybuilding sites. Looks like a curse. Lots of stretching of psoas and strengthening abs but it won't go away, even it seems to worsen my situation.
On the other hand, I know I must do some cardio and cutting. I'm thoroughly 1'70 m and ~75 kg. Of course I love my beer but I think I've gone overboard for some time. Not willing to quit it entirely but surely I'll have to keep a log of calories. What would you advice in terms of calorie intake/macros/workout program? I've been adviced many ones (i.e. Fierce 5) and keeping up constantly but I see no evolution... So now I guess taking only ONE program will keep me focused for some time in order to see noticeable results.
Could provide pictures on request if needed.
Thanks in advance. Best!

You cannot target/spot reduce fat, so exercises that target the core will do nothing for losing the belly. But the APT, often times strengthening the posterior chain, hamstrings, and the glutes will help to correct this (glute bridges, RDL's), in addition to stretches that target hip flexors, etc.
The only thing you can do is eat in a calorie deficit while following a proven strength training program to build/maintain muscle. Your genetics will determine how/where the fat comes off.

All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.
Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.
